I'm trying to get the process handle of an application that will be running concurrently with the VB app. I want to use the TerminateProcess API call to kill a program but first need the handle of that program's process. I will only know the executable filename. Does anybody know how to get the Windows handle?<br><br>Basically I want this application to function like the Windows NT Task Manager - where you can select process name (exe filename) and End Process.
