Hello!
I´m facing a problem when trying to close a Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) window through another application, using the "Process.CloseMainWindow()" method; because it doesn´t close the Explorer window, it tries to close the full Windows (Operative System), by the way, Windows XP.
The code is as follows:
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern int GetForegroundWindow();
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern UInt32 GetWindowThreadProcessId(Int32 hWnd, out Int32 lpdwProcessId);
public String[] exeCommand()
{
try
{
//Get App
Int32 hwnd = 0;
hwnd = GetForegroundWindow();
Process actualProcess = Process.GetProcessById(GetWindowProcessID(hwnd));
//Close App
if (!actualProcess.CloseMainWindow())
actualProcess.Kill();
}
catch { throw; }
return null;
}
Suppose that the "actualProcess" is "explorer.exe"
Any help will be appreciated!! Salutes!
