When I tried to open first close_Process.vi LV 8.0 hangs..

Screen shot attached..I tried multiple times and waited more than 2 minutes everytime..

I also noticed that I can not operator other programs when this happens..

To Wiebe:

   Thank you for providing a very useful vi. I found this vi may not work if the process name is long. Am I right or....

Hi,

Glad you like it.

I stumbled apon this message by accident, my outlook removed the original
thread, and with it the watch I put on it... So it took a while for me to
respond.

I took a short cut when I made the VI... GetModuleFileNameExA takes a string
buffer, and this buffer might be to small. To do it really nice, I should
probably call it twice, once with a null pointer to get the string length,
once with a string of proper length.

A quick fix it to make the string constant (01234...) 10 times larger.
Dubble click on it, press CTRL-C and then 10 times CTRL-V.

Regards,

Wiebe.

if you have .net installed... there is an easier way!  I created a kill outlook because if I forget to close it when I leave work... It downloads my work mail, and I can not get to it via webaccess.  So Attached.  Additionally for Weibe's example... my install directory is windows and not winnt.  So moving this to other machines could be a problem in a programmatic environment.  Actually I believe that you can just use the DLL name and let window find it.
