Stopping a project from running

I have a question about 'killing' a running project... here's my
situation. I have a 'main menu' project that calls various other
projects. If the user exits out of the main screen, I want all other
running .exe projects to close out at that time too. Is this possible to
do? Thanks,

If you started the other .exes with CreateProcess you can stop them with
ExitProcess. Another option is to send a WM_QUIT message to the other
processes.

Hello Greg,

During main form closing (FormClose) you must get the handle of the window
for each open child application by calling
"FindWindows('WindowClassName','WindowCaption')". Then you must send to each
window a shut down message: sendmessage(Windowhandle,WM_CLOSE,0,0).
