#A NEW Shell Problem
Help — Anyone! This is a different Shell problem I'm having. In my VB
app, I use Shell to start other windows apps and also DOS apps. For the
windows apps (like Reversi, Solitaire, etc.) sometimes the user gets the
Shelled app into the background or iconizes it, then returns to the VB app.
In that case, I want to be able to Kill the shelled app. I've tried
DestroyWindow, SendMessage with a variety of messages that should kill the
window, and SendKeys with alt-F4. Nothing works consistently. SOme apps
are killed, and others just cause the system to hang.
I am able to get the handle to the shelled app, and I've been using
IsWin to see if it is still running.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
