Creating and Terminating a Process

When you initiate a program from within a running application, the application calls the CreateProcess function to load the new application into memory and to create a new process with at least one new thread.

    To create and terminate a process

• Call the CreateProcess function to create a process.

  The lpApplicationName parameter must specify the name of the module to execute. Windows CE does not support passing NULL for lpApplicationName.

• Call the TerminateProcess function to terminate a process.

  Windows CE processes do not have exit codes and cannot terminate themselves. You cannot use TerminateProcess to terminate a Protected Server Library (PSL) for processes contained therein.
