    hey alll,

    I am trying to learn visual basic and I want to create a program that will let me input a process and then set a time and after that set of time then the program terminates. does anyone have any suggestions or experience with creating this type of program?

    thanks,
    for any help,
    schunn99

    As long as you have the process name or ID, you can easily kill the process using the Win32 API.

    Just as tekkieman said - very easy in win32 api
    CreateProcess()
    SetTimer()
    TerminateProcess()
    Maybe these func. calls have similiar syntax in VB.
    Good luck.

    Have a look into the visualbasicforum. You will find examples for all the necessary API calls.
