I need run the app X as a monitor when the primary system runs. And the app X shoule be killed when the primary system closes. Now I can get the title and the window handle number of the app X(the title is defined by me;using win_api_session.findAppwindow function of the d2kwutil.pll to get the window handle number). is there any function can kill the app/process?

BTW, I use WIN_API_Shell.WinExec('ifrun60.exe XXX.fmx',win_api.SW_HIDE,false) to hide the app X when it runs. could someone know there have other function can hide the app?

Thx,

Hi David,
I donot know which screen you mean. I need to kill the app X process when the primary system quit to make sure there is nothing left in the OS. The app X will follow the every primary system and we allow the user to run more than one primary system in the computer at the sametime. So when exit the primary system, we must kill its own app immediately.

Sorry about my previous comment. I was having a bad day and as I do not believe that Oracle Forms is the correct product in which to write background applications I was being unnecessarily sarcastic. Sorry.

On how to kill a session in Oracle Database, search this forum for 'kill session'. How to kill a session in MS Windows, search an MS Windows site.

If you have a Form A which starts another completely separate Forms session running Forms B consider using the 'Open_form' command instead. Review the 'close_form' command in the reference manual and online help. Use the 'find_form' command to find the other form.

After I search, I got the method to kill the process, the windows command 'taskkill'. Using this command to kill the specific windowtitle process.

Thank you, David!
