So so I goggled a code on how to kill a process. I got this

Code:

Dim pList() As System.Diagnostics.Process = _
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad")
For Each proc As System.Diagnostics.Process In pList
Dim resp As MsgBoxResult
resp = MsgBox("Terminate " & proc.ProcessName & "?", _
MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, "Terminate?")
If resp = MsgBoxResult.Yes Then
proc.Kill()
End If
Next

I understand this code completly it just closed notepad, but what if I didnt want a message box to appear? I just want the process to end immediately. I tried to modify the code to take out the message box but it was to hard. So if someone could please help me Sad

Also I know the past few days I have been asking like 20 questions a day and posting usless crap, but im just learning this language and soon I will be able to help you guys out Very Happy

I know he answered it but you just had to take out the For function. In the beggining you're stating what you want to kill, and proc.kill actually "kills it". _________________ Every lvl up counts!

Wha? The loop is still intact.

All I removed is the Msgbox check:

Code:

Dim resp As MsgBoxResult
resp = MsgBox("Terminate " & proc.ProcessName & "?", _
MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, "Terminate?")
If resp = MsgBoxResult.Yes Then
// Keep The Kill Code That Was Here..
End If

The loop is still there, the object was told to only add any proc that matched "notepad.exe" to the other, so the loop will kill all the notepad windows. There are more methods to be taken if you want to kill as specific Notepad window, but that was not the intended purpose.
