[Solved] Kill an application with Windows Text?

Kill an application with Windows Text?

Hello,
I wanna kill an application and in the same time I don't want to kill others use the same process.
As example:
I wanna kill Control Panel but it uses explorer.exe so I can't kill explorer or many other things will get closed.

So simply, I wanna kill the application by the windows text (Control Panel) without killing the explorer.exe process.
Any ideas?

FindWindow function
SendMessage function
WM_CLOSE message

Get the HWND of the window you want to close (what you called application) using FindWindow function, then send the WM_CLOSE message to that HWND using the SendMessage function. If you don't know how to use those WinAPI functions in VB.NET see http://www.pinvoke.net/
