need help with invisible app

[Dataverde]

Hello,
I´m a beginner with b4ppc.

It seems that I made an app that is completely invisible to any taskmanager and is not able to close itself. :sign0148:
The app is very annoying since it tries to open antother .exe on every "evWakeUp" event.

I used the hardware.dll and "ShowTodayScreen" to hide it.
Is there any way to build an app that can terminate external apps?(since i know the name of my app)

My device(HTC Tuch Dual) is running on WM6.0

Greetings,
DV

have you tried this app?

Thanks for the quick response.
Yes i did. And i was surprised that dzSpy was unable to find the app.

 

[Mr_Gee]

Have you setup the app to run at every evWakeUp event?
because it is possible that the app closes (therefore you cannot close it)
and on every evWakeUp it runs and does its business,

the solution is to remove the app from the RunAt queue
Erel posted the example/solution here on the forum some time ago

I dont´t think that this will help. The app should be active waiting for the "evWakeUp" event and then act(open another app).

Can you post your app?
that would help

here:

'hard as hardware object
Sub App_Start
   Form1.Show
   hard.New1
   hard.RunAppAtEvent("s2uapp.exe",hard.evWakeup)
End Sub

sub button1_click
   hard.ShowTodayScreen
end sub

i tried to use the dzHW lib, but it didn´t work either

Sub App_Start
   dz.New1
   Form1.Show
End Sub
Sub button1_click
   dz.KillProcess("s2u.exe")
   Msgbox("done")
End Sub

 

[Mr_Gee]

and the appname where this code is from is s2uapp.exe?

also you are using 2 different application names :

hard.RunAppAtEvent("s2uapp.exe",hard.evWakeup)
dz.KillProcess("s2u.exe")

 

[Dataverde]

Sorry for the names they are confusing.
s2u.exe is the hidden app witch is waiting for the event.
s2uapp.exe iss the app witch is opend by s2u.exe on the event.

the second code is another app witch is made to terminate the running and hidden s2u.exe.
