Warmonger Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I built a launcher that uses ShellExecute() to load a hidden web page, with the users default browser. The problem im having is since it doesn't return the process handle or nothing. We end up with a process idling in the background. Is there any way to return a handle and close this process that would work on a global scale across all web browsers?

Warmonger Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Warmonger, You could use ProcessList before and after the ShellExecute and see what started in the interval. M23 Would work. But wont meet my requirements. This program will be used by 1,000's of people daily for a official game, with all different kinds of browsers, so it needs to be more robust. ;~ Load Web Page $Shell = ObjCreate('Shell.Application') $Shell.ShellExecute('http://www.google.com', '', '', '', @SW_HIDE) And then doing. $Shell.Quit And $Shell = 0 But no success, process still exists maybe im doing something wrong?
