How to set timeout in CreateProcess in vc++

Hi,

I started one process using CreateProcess() in vc++. Now I want to set wait time out for that created process. Let consider, I am starting notepad using the above function, then I asked to handle that process. In this situation, the Notepad does not return any value. so this handling function still holds. I want to set the wait time, If the time exceed then that handled object should release, I have tried with WaitForSingleObject and set my time, the timeout function is encounted but the Handle resource doesnot release, here code snippet....


STARTUPINFO sInfo;
ZeroMemory(&sInfo,sizeof(sInfo));
PROCESS_INFORMATION pInfo;
ZeroMemory(&pInfo,sizeof(pInfo));
sInfo.cb=sizeof(sInfo);
sInfo.dwFlags=STARTF_USESTDHANDLES;
sInfo.hStdInput=NULL;
sInfo.hStdOutput=wPipe;
sInfo.hStdError=wPipe;

char command[1024]; strcpy(command,
csExecute.GetBuffer(csExecute.GetLength()));

//Create the process here.
if(CreateProcess(0, command,0,0,TRUE,NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS|CREATE_NO_WINDOW,0,0,&sInfo,&pInfo))
{
DWORD retVal = WaitForSingleObject(pInfo.hProcess,IE_MAXWAIT);
if(retVal == WAIT_TIMEOUT)
{
MessageBox(NULL,"TimeOut","Output",MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
CloseHandle(pInfo.hThread);
CloseHandle(pInfo.hProcess);
}
}

 

Insert following code after MessageBox(.....

if (TerminateProcess(pInfo.hProcess, 0)){
      // Success
}
else{
      // Failed to terminate process
}
