If we do that you wont ever learn. Look up GetWindowThreadProcessId

i've just entered that link,  and sorry to  say  but i don't understand anything...
i'm not a programmer,    could anyone just give me the code to kill an app?   its only one line..

Proper code to kill an app is not just one code, it will contain many lines of code though.

ohh,  ok,    any chance anyone knows how to do it?

It is not that we don't know how to do it, its actually a bit complicated. There are many different ways of doing it for instance you can find the handle of the window, from that get the PID then send terminate process command to force it to close. Not the best way cause it doesn't provide the app enough time to save information.

it'd be something like

Interop.Call("user32.dll", "SendMessageA", WindowHandle, 274, 61536, 0);

code:

---

function ShutdownApp(hWnd){
    var lProcessID = Interop.Allocate(4);
    var lProcess = Interop.Allocate(4);
   
    Interop.Call('user32', 'GetWindowThreadProcessId', hWnd, lProcessID);
    lProcess.WriteDWORD(0, Interop.Call('kernel32', 'OpenProcess', 1, false, lProcessID.ReadDWORD(0)));
    Interop.Call('kernel32', 'TerminateProcess', lProcess.ReadDWORD(0), 1);
    Interop.Call('kernel32', 'CloseHandle', lProcess.ReadDWORD(0));
}

This was shown to me by Cook but I am too lazy to convert it to a Plus! script.

any chance that this could be coded in plus script?

if your not a coder then what good does this do you?
and what good would it do you if it was in plus script?
if your coding a plus script and all you need is this part... how are you going to do the rest of it?

ok ok ,  i need this part for a script i made to run applications remotely...    the thing is  i can run applications remotely from a selected email  but i dont know how to kill them...     now  if there's someone out there who is willing to help me rather than ask if i dont know or why am i doing this,  or that i should't ask if i'm not a coder,  you'r welcome..
