Start and Kill a 3rd party aplication

[salamandra]

Hi to all,
Hope you all and you families are well and safe

I need a help regarding how to start and to "kill" a 3rd party application.
I need to start a 3rd party application after my system starts (easy, using EXECUTE) and need to "Kill" this application before shutdown my system.
Any ideia ??

hi,

the "easy" Way, to use EXECUTE -> _execute -> ShellExecute did not give you a handle of App which have start.
in this Case you have to "find" Windows to terminate it

Code: Select all

HB_FUNC( FINDWINDOW )
   {
      hb_retnl( ( LONG_PTR ) FindWindow( hb_parc( 1 ),
      hb_parc( 2 ) ) ) ;
   }

Code: Select all

LOCAL nHandle := FINDWINDOW("Title_Of_Window")
   IF !EMPTY(nHandle)
      SendMessage( nHandle, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0 )
   ENDIF

better Way i to use CreateProcess() like WAITRUN in c:\hmg.3.4.4\SOURCE\c_winapimisc.c
as i have not made it under harbour (only Xbase++) i can´t tell you hole Way, only Direction.
