Stop the Killing

Posted by Matt Gerrans on November 20, 2001 at 6:04 PM

I don't quite understand what you mean by "each button starts one corba object. i am starting it using batch files." This makes no sense to me. Why do you need batch files? What are they doing?

Also, generally speaking, it is not a good idea to simply kill other processes. If these other processes perform some task, they should terminate themselves upon completion. Heck, you should be able to notify a CORBA object that you are finished with it.

So the answer is, create youself a native method that does PostMessage(WM_CLOSE) to the main window of the thing. If the program is a console app (has no window), or if it doesn't respond as desired to the WM_CLOSE request (it is a request, not a command), then use TerminateProcess() on it, which will kill it summarily.
