Q2 [Ans.] Killing a created process from outside the function that creates it

[mediaguycouk]

Another question I'm stuck on.

I have two forms (for this example) called Main and Ffmpeg. Inside main there is a [Start] and a [Cancel] button. There is a Start_Clicked function and a Cancel_Clicked function.

Inside Start_Click I start ffmpeg (Ffmpeg ffmpeg = new Ffmpeg). This ffmpeg class opens up ffmpeg.exe and sends some arguments. (The code is in http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=15549.0)

Now my question is, how can I send proc.Kill(); to ffmpeg? The Cancel_Clicked function doesn't know what ffmpeg is.

Advanced thanks for your help. Learning languages is damn near impossible without people like yourself that help!

You'll want to declare the instance of the ffmpeg class outside of the functions (in a global context), then make use of it within the functions. To show you how this would work we'd need to see more of your code.

That's so simple it's brilliant. Why the hell didn't I think of that! I've even done that in a different part of the program.
