Hi guys, I would like to be able to open a program and close it wright
within vb...

' this one works...
Process.Start(" c:\someProgram. exe")

Thread.sleep(50 00)

' this one doesn't !
Process.Stop()

how can I do the second? any ideas?

Re: start / stop process

Hi Tacien,

Keep a reference to the process when you start it.

Process p = Process.Start(" Notepad.exe");

You can then, call CloseMainWindow () for windows application or Kill() to
end the process.

p.CloseMainWind ow();

or

p.Kill();

Happy Coding!
