Hi
I know how to start the application
Call Shell("path", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
very easy,
but i want to close it too
i searched a lot but noting works, like:
Private Const wm_exit = &H10
Private Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Call SendMessage(prog, wm_exit, 0, 0)
does somebody know a working code to close applications?

Have you tried WM_DESTROY instead of WM_EXIT? In addition, you didn't show how the variable 'prog' was set so that makes it harder to understand
-
Well, I tried and it was the same
i knew it would be the same because it is just the name of de constant: wm_exit, so it doesn't matter ( i think :) )

I think i have tried this a few years ago, and if i got it right you couldnt close a terminal/console-window via windows-messages.
If your using 2k/xp then there is a program called 'taskkill'. If you can find out the pid of the process than just run that. However, to find the pid might be hard.
EDIT:
I dont think that WMEXIT, WMDESTROY etc. have the same value. -
hmm, that is something
i will search for it -
I found it
Call Shell("Taskkill -F -IM " & "hltv.exe")
thx for helping -
No problem!
Good luck, and happy programming.
