[Qt-interest] How to close a process running on windows !

[Santhosh Y]

Hi,

This is in context of closing nxdatcom.exe process.

I am able to get the handle to the process in which I am interested in 
closing, but when I call TerminateProcess() it is returning me false.
That means it is not able to terminate the process. Any idea on 
alternative !

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

     bool isRunning()
     {
         unsigned long aProcesses[1024], cbNeeded, cProcesses;
         if(!EnumProcesses(aProcesses, sizeof(aProcesses), &cbNeeded))
             return false;

         cProcesses = cbNeeded / sizeof(unsigned long);

         for(unsigned int i = 0; i < cProcesses; i++) {
             if(aProcesses[i] == 0)
                 continue;

             HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | 
PROCESS_VM_READ, 0, aProcesses[i]);

             wchar_t buffer[50];

             GetModuleBaseName(hProcess, 0, buffer, 50);

             std::string str;
             for (int i=0; i < 50; i++) {
                 str.push_back (buffer[i]);
             }

*// std::cout << str << std::endl;
             // Able to print  all the exe's running over my machine*

             if(strcmp(str.c_str(), "nxdatcom.exe") == 0) {

                 //CloseHandle(hProcess);

* BOOL b = TerminateProcess( hProcess, 0); // This is failing; Any idea 
on alternative !*

                 if (b == false) {
                    std::cout <<  GetLastError() << std::endl;
                 }
                 return b;
             }
         }
         return false;
     }
