Copy and paste it into word lol?

Yes[^].
Although you can make one of your own.
The word "politics" describes the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures."

I'm pretty new to coding to the Win32 API, so this may be a newbie question:
I've got an application writen in VB6 that opens a PDF document in Adobe Acrobat Reader with the /p switch, so that it shows the print dialog window. When the user clicks "ok", I want the document to print and Acrobat Reader to close.
I open Acrobat Reader using the Shell command, and I close it by sending WM_CLOSE messages to the process (following examples I found online).
This all worked fine when I was using Acrobat Reader version 7, but I recently upgraded to version 9, and now I'm finding that the task manager shows AcroRd32 running even after all the windows have closed. This is a problem, since if the user tries to print a second document, a new window doesn't open and no print dialog window appears.
I can get the process id, and I've tried using TerminateProcess to end it, using code:
lngResult = TerminateProcess(lngProcessId, 0&)
This returns a zero, which I understand means that an error has occurred, but GetLastError also returns a zero, which seems to mean no error was trapped.
Can anyone help me understand what's going on, or what I'm missing here? Thanks very much for your help!

Thanks Vuyiswa, but that solution uses dot net, and I'm using VB6.
For those interested, I did find a solution:
Private Const PROCESS_TERMINATE = 1
Dim lProcessHandle As Long, lResult As Long, lMyProcessID as Long
lProcessHandle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, True, lMyProcessID )
lResult = TerminateProcess(lProcessHandle, 0&)
which seems to work. I think my problem was that I was trying to send TerminateProcess lMyProcessID instead of lProcessHandle ...

Welcome, Did you consider moving to .NET ?

I have considered it, but I am not primarily a VB programmer. I spend most of my time in the Notes/Domino web world -- LotusScript, JavaScript, HTML, and some of the rest on the iSeries (RPG). The VB apps we have are just oddball little things -- this one prints a PDF file automatically from an RPG program -- and since I'm reasonably comfortable in VB6 that's what I did it in.
I've heard that moving to .NET is a big learning curve, so up to now I've stayed away from it ...

Hello once again guys.
I used this coding for the showing of date and time. this is supposed to appear when i press a command button named "new record".
text1=date
text2=time
But this doesn't work! Any better one for time and date?
ST

|
|
|
|
How about DateTime.Now()?
Dim currentTime As DateTime = DateTime.Now()
TextBox1.Text = currentTime.ToShortDateString()
TextBox2.Text = currentTime.ToShortTimeString()
|
|
|
|
|
Well, i don't know much but does this show the current time on your computer in a textbox?
Thankyou
ST
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, i tried it but it is giving a compile error: syntax error and this gets highlighted 
Dim currentTime As DateTime = DateTime.Now()
What could the problem be?
Thankyou!
ST

I think you're using VB6, that is the problem.
|
|
|
|
|
you are right. i am using vb6. is there any better way of doing this?
Regards

Use VB.Net? If I remember correctly there is a Date type in VB and you just need to do something like:
Dim myDate as Date
myDate = Now()
I could be wrong it's over 5 years since I last used VB6 and my memory's not what it was.
If you are using VB6 then my suggestion (for your previous question) to use the ErrorProvider won't help you (it's a VB.Net control).
Regards

yes there is.
For one, choose a modern language. VB6 is 20 years old and obsolete; today's Basic is called VB.NET
Once you are sure about the language choice, learn it in a decent way: follow a course, or buy and study a book (a physical book, not an e-book, and no I am not recommending any particular one, go browse some in a book store).
Then read some of the articles here on CodeProject and start experimenting.
Don't try and do it without good fundamentals, it does not work.

No its not, it only came out about 1999. If I've told you once, I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate!

Correction: VB is 20 years old and VB6, its last incantation, is now obsolete. 
Is that better?

Yes, much. You mustn't confuse those poor souls who are still using it - most of them aren't 20 years old

Excuse me, but I beg to differ. I clearly remember VB6 rearing its ugly head somewhere toward the end of 1998. Oh, how I loathe the Dark Ages.

If you're going to ask questions on any forum, not just CP's, you really need to specify that you're using VB6. Everyone will assume you're using VB.NET since VB6 has not been support by Microsoft for quite some time now.
