How can I kill a process using C++?

[abloyboat]

using API, or kung naay existing exe nga mo kill na ug process then run it with parameter, or using vbscript kung pwede tawagon sa c++.

If you are using the ISO standard C++, I think lisud ni siya same ra pud kung mo create a ug directory.

I think ang mas maayo ani is motawag ka ug C functions/API.

i know exactly what you need

steps
1.) obtain the processID
either by looping through all the current process. using the CreateToolhelp32Snapshot in combination of Process32First, Process32Next,CloseHandle, and ProcessEntry32(structure) you check the name if its equal to the process your are looking for.

or using the FindWindow API with that you get the handle for the process... theirs a function to get the processID from a handle GetWindowThreadProcessId so you use that processID

2.) after obtaining the process id you use OpenProcess, then Call TerminateProcess, and then close the handle with CloseHandle

now a little research about this APIs woudn't hurt.

give me a sample code please. ty

Try kuno read sa Windows API. Para at least kahibalo ka mo basa ug API.

nka try nman ko ug win api..pero wala nka include ang advance sa ako na download nga tutorial.... mga dlg box raman to ug bitmaps.....

CreateToolhelp32Snapshot
Process32First
Process32Next
CloseHandle

ProcessEntry32(structure)

FindWindow API

processID
GetWindowThreadProcessId
OpenProcess
TerminateProcess
CloseHandle

UNsa man ang ilang mga aguments aning mga functions ug unsa pud ang mga object nga naa sa ProcessEntry32?
give pud some links about sa FindWindow API ..

[silent-kill]

this is how you get the handle of the process.

HANDLE GetProcessHandle(LPSTR szExeName)
{
  PROCESSENTRY32 Pc = { sizeof(PROCESSENTRY32) };
  HANDLE hSnapshot = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPALL, 0);
  if(Process32First(hSnapshot, &Pc)){
    do{
      if(!strcmp(Pc.szExeFile, szExeName)) {
        return OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, TRUE, Pc.th32ProcessID);
      }
    }while(Process32Next(hSnapshot, &Pc));
  }
  return NULL;
}

after that.. call TerminateProcess..
in your main like

  HANDLE hProcess = GetProcessHandle("iexplore.exe");
  DWORD fdwExit = 0;
  GetExitCodeProcess(hProcess, &fdwExit);
  TerminateProcess(hProcess, fdwExit);
  CloseHandle(hProcess);

i think in c++ PROCESSENTRY32 is already declared kong wala pa... mao ni siya

tnx..... got it...

there is a built in program sa windows, tasklist and taskkill i think you could use it if your in windows platform.
