Here I have a problem I am trying to automate Applications (FILE->EXIT) function. that is closing the application. Problem : When I open my application using createProcess() a notification is sent tat application started.But when i used following to close application no nofication is sent. if( TerminateProcess(piProcessInfo.hProcess,0)) { CloseHandle(piProcessInfo.hProcess); } This code is not acting as way as (FILE->EXIT) Please help!!! :~

You say you are not able to get the process status after you call "TerminateProcess()"?

TerminateProcess is not good idea for close a program you can send WM_CLOSE to your program.

can you tell me how to do this Ex: I want to close "notepad.exe" with wm_close

If your target applciation has a window, you can find your target application using FindWidnow() API. This will return the window handle of the target application. Using that handle you can send WM_CLOSE message. Ex: HWND hWnd = ::FindWindow( NULL, "TargetAppName" ); ::SendMessage( hWnd, WM_CLOSE );

Thank you very much. This works fine. But say if I have 2/3 instances of same application, how do I extend this to close particular window?
