Killing another program

Hi,

I am writing a program (A) that occasionnaly will update files. To be sure that those files are not used by another program (B), not written by me, I need to know whether B is running.

I intend to do that by checking in A the window handle of B to be 0 or <> 0, using dzhw1.GetWindowHandle(ClassName , WindowName ). However, I do not know the ClassName and the WindowName of B.

1) Is it possible to get a list of those items of the running programs; then I can identify for one time the data I need?

2) Does another possibility exist to get the required window handle to kill B?

You can use GetProcesses as described here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional-libraries/384-useful-library-2.html#post2809 to get the list of all running processes.
