Question: How to kill a windows process
Answer:
If you want to kill a process under windows 98, 2000,xp home or professional - use this function:
function KillTask(ExeFileName: string): Integer;
const
PROCESS_TERMINATE = $0001;
var
ContinueLoop: BOOL;
FSnapshotHandle: THandle;
FProcessEntry32: TProcessEntry32;
begin
Result := 0;
FSnapshotHandle := CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0);
FProcessEntry32.dwSize := SizeOf(FProcessEntry32);
ContinueLoop := Process32First(FSnapshotHandle, FProcessEntry32);
while Integer(ContinueLoop) 0 do begin
if (
(UpperCase(ExtractFileName(FProcessEntry32.szExeFile)) = UpperCase(ExeFileName)) or
(UpperCase(FProcessEntry32.szExeFile) = UpperCase(ExeFileName))
) then
Result :=
Integer(
TerminateProcess(
OpenProcess(
PROCESS_TERMINATE,
BOOL(0),
FProcessEntry32.th32ProcessID
),
0
)
);
ContinueLoop := Process32Next(FSnapshotHandle, FProcessEntry32);
end;
CloseHandle(FSnapshotHandle);
end;
