VS 2010 - Kill Processes By Window Title Not By EXE Name?
Feb 16, 2012
I have a snippet below how to kill multiple instances of different processes by the name of exe file
For Each processName As String In {"notepad", "word", "excel"}
Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(processName)
For Each p As Process In pProcess
p.Kill()
Next
Next
But if user will change the name of exe file it will not work. So the question is how to kill them by window title which contains {"notepad", "word", "excel"}?

Excuse me for posting this, but I have searched both Google along with this forum before asking this question, maybe I'm not using the right keywords but I apologize if it's easy to find.I would like to know how one could close a third-party window (application) if a specified string was found in the window title.

I currently have the following up in VS 2010
Dim myProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("calc")
For Each myKill As Process In myProcess
myKill.Kill()
However I cannot seem to get it to kill more than one process. Example I've tried
("calc",mspaint")
("calc,mspaint")
("calc"),("mspaint")

I made an application that helps facilitate malware removal by running a bunch of different CLI scanners at once; among other things.
The app was made to run in normal and safe mode. The problem, is that since it has been made to run in normal mode, it essentially becomes useless if the malware has installed a rootkit that kills executables as they open or if they've messed with the exe file association in the registry.
So, to get my app to run, I thought to do 2 things.
First, change the file association of my app to either .com, scr, or .pif so that it can still launch but won't be affected by messed up reg keys or identified by the rootkit.
But, I still need to worry about that rootkit for the other apps.
So I thought to just kill all non essential processes.
What would be the best way to accomplish this?
I thought of two different ways:
I could either have a pre-compiled list of system processes that need to stay running or when looping through the processes, I can identify each by a specific property, like company name or something else.

I'm trying to create a small productivity program to keep myself focused when programming; specifically, to close any processes that might distract me from doing my job.What is the easiest way to kill all processes listed in a listBox? I already know how to add the processes to my listBox with this code: [code]This adds the processes to the listBox very neatly and all, exactly how I want it. I have a timer that gets enabled with the press of a button that should close all processes in the listBox.

Wazzup everyone I'm trying to make a program that manages my processes. I'm having trouble killing processes off of a listbox. I know how to kill a process just not off of a listbox because it returns in the following format:
System.Diagnostics.Process(notepad)
Here's what I've tried so far.
Killp = ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString
Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(Killp)
For Each p As Process In pProcess
DialogResult = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to kill this process?" &

border of that said window so the only place the mouse can't click the titlebar and the minimize,restore, and maximize button. The height of the titlebar depends on what OS the user is using so I'm having trouble because I can't give a definite value for this. How do I detect the height. and also for border i'm not sure if the borders have different widths with different operating systems. I'm using windows XP on classic mode, when I change to the themed mode, the height of the title bar changes so it won't work.

here is what I'm trying to do (partly in pseudo code):
Public Sub KillProcess(ByRef strProcessToKill As String)
Dim proc() As Process = Process.GetProcesses
For i As Integer = 0 To proc.GetUpperBound(0)
If proc(i).ProcessName = strProcessToKill Then
proc(i).Kill()
End If
[Code]...
The killprocess part works fine. However, if I try a "For Each App As Process In Process.GetProcessesByName("chrome"") approach and have several chrome windows open then it will display the question 5 times if there are 5 chrome processes open.

I'm trying to focus and bring a window with an unknown caption/title to the front. The window is in a clinical application that we use, so I don't think there's any way I can do it inside the framework, as we get this application from a vendor. The window will always start with "Member - ". I have code below that I have used in the past to find a window and focus it when I know exactly what the title is.. but in this case I don't know what the title is. Does anyone know of another API call that I can use to search through all windows and compare their titles as text to see if any of them match the text I'm trying to compare with?

I have this code, which will get all windows thats open, like explorer.exe do. It will write all the titles to listbox1, like this example.I will then try to do many things, like close, minimize, maximize, and restore like this:[code]but how do I do this with the selected index in my listbox. My code must somehow get the processname, or processID from the Window-name.
