Is there a function I can use in Visual C++ program to kill a running process?

Thank you

Do it like this:

DWORD dwProcess;

// Get the process ID and put it in dwProcess

HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, FALSE, dwProcess);
if(hProcess != NULL)
{
TerminateProcess(hProcess, 1);
CloseHandle(hProcess);
}

Now I use ShellExecute() to open a executable file. It does not return a process ID.

Which funciton can open a executable file and return a process ID?


Thank you

Use

The GetModuleHandle function returns a module handle for the specified module if the file has been mapped into the address space of the calling process.

HMODULE GetModuleHandle(
  LPCTSTR lpModuleName   // address of module name to return handle 
                         // for
);

or
[tt]ShellExecuteEx[/tt]

or you can use
[tt]CreateProcess[/tt]
