How to use PostThreadMessage to close internet explore

[CruelIO]

Hi
Im trying to start iexplore.exe let it run for 5 seconds and then close it again.

iexplore opens just fine however it doest close when i call the PostThreadMessage can any one see what im doing wrong here is the code:



CString IEPath = "C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE";//GetIEPath();
//IEPath += ' ' + url;
std::string strCommand((LPCTSTR)IEPath);
PROCESS_INFORMATION procinfo;
STARTUPINFO startupinfo;
GetStartupInfo(&startupinfo);

CreateProcess(
NULL,
(char *)strCommand.c_str(),// name of executable module
NULL, // lpProcessAttributes
NULL, // lpThreadAttributes
false, // handle inheritance option
CREATE_SHARED_WOW_VDM, // creation flags
NULL, // new environment block
NULL, // current directory name
&startupinfo, // startup information
&procinfo // process information
);


Sleep(5000);
:ostThreadMessage(procinfo.dwThreadId, WM_QUIT, 0, 0); //<---Dosent Close internet explorer!

Anyone have an idea of what im doing wrong? Or is there at better what to do the trick?

Try using TerminateProcess() instead of PostThreadMessage().

Good Luck,
