Terminate a java application from Delphi program

Question

How can I kill a process which is started by ShellExecute() in Delphi 7. When clicking a button a java application is opened. It works perfectly. I need to close the process by clicking another button. How can I terminate the java application from delphi?

@Ken In this case it is going to be easier to get the process handle as the process is created rather than hunting around for a process handle. — David Heffernan

In this case you would be better to use ShellExecuteEx() to start the process. This allows you to obtain the newly created process handle which is not returned by ShellExecute. Once you have that you simply call TerminateProcess. As yet another alternative, you may consider creating the process with CreateProcess.
