Kill process

Hi, NG,

  Does anyone know how could I get all processes in Windows and close those
having particular file names? I need it to be done programmatically.. Some
kind of Task manager.

  Thanks

Re:Kill process


Use the functions from TLHelp32 (Windows 9x) or PSApi (Windows NT) to get a
list of processes and send a WM_QUIT to the handle to terminate the process.

Yes, I have found them(I use PSApi).. So I have the following sequence:

1. EnumProcesses
2. EnumProcessModules
3. GetModuleFileNameEx

However when I call GetModuleFileNameEx I get access violation. I suppose I
need this function to determine file names?

  Thanks

Re:Kill process


I think you are using one of the functions wrong. I don't have a Delphi
example, but the Microsoft support site has a C++ example you can learn
from:

Re:Kill process


this will enumerate processes

uses TlHelp32;

function EnumProcesses : TStringList;
var
ProcHandle : THandle;
AProcEntry : TProcessEntry32;
List : TStringList;

begin
  ProcHandle:=CreateToolHelp32SnapShot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS,0);
  if ProcHandle = -1 then Exit;
  AprocEntry.dwSize:=SizeOf(TProcessEntry32);
  if Process32First(ProcHandle, AProcEntry) then
    begin
       List:=TStringList.Create;
       List.Add(AProcEntry.szExeFile);
       while Process32Next(ProcHandle,AProcEntry) do
        begin
           List.Add(AProcEntry.szExeFile);
        end;
     end;
  CloseHandle(ProcHandle);
  Result:=List;
end;

Re:Kill process


Waht's the difference between sending a WM_CLOSE and a WM_QUIT message?
