How to close a process in win32

Hello,

I'd make a call between the processes - you can have the
deamon listen on a port and the GUI app can then send a shutdown message
onto that port (there are obviously much fancier ways of doing this - I
just picked the most bread and butter one). This will allow you to shut
down your deamon in an organised fashion - I don't know if the terminate
process functions calls the TerminateProces s function in the win32api
but it is not a recommended way of closing your process.

If you wish more info on closing your app in win32 goto -
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...teprocess.asp).
Cheers,

Neil

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
