    Terminating Proccesses

    sometimes when im testing my hacks the game window freezes so im trying to make a program that terminates the process
    Code:
    #include <tlhelp32.h> 
    int main()
    {
     HANDLE SnapShot = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPALL,NULL); 
       if (SnapShot != NULL) 
       { 
                       PROCESSENTRY32 PE; 
          PE.dwSize = sizeof(PROCESSENTRY32); 
          HRESULT r = Process32First (SnapShot,&PE); 
          while(r != NULL) 
          { 
             if(strstr((char*)&PE.szExeFile,"globalops.exe") ) 
             { 
                HANDLE GO = OpenProcess (PROCESS_TERMINATE,0,PE.th32ProcessID); 
                      TerminateProcess (GO,0); 
             } 
             r = Process32Next (SnapShot,&PE); 
          } 
       } 
    }
    how would i fix these errors
    Code:
    Compiling...
    main.cpp
    c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\tlhelp32.h(26) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'WINAPI'
    c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\tlhelp32.h(26) : error C2501: 'HANDLE' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
    c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\tlhelp32.h(26) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
    Error executing cl.exe.

    It's not likely to be a problem with the code in the tlhelp32 file as such, but with the syntax the function/whatever, at line 26 is expecting, and not getting. In particular, I suspect the problem is that tlhelp32 is a windows header and is expecting something from a windows file that it's not getting. Maybe you need to include the windows.h file if you are trying to use windows functions in a console program, but I think it more likely that you are attempting to write a windows program but are using the console entry point int main() rather than a windows entry point like int WINAPI WinMain(). Telling us what type of program you are trying to write will help us help you better.

    Most likely elad had it right with "Maybe you need to include the windows.h file".

    HANDLE is a windows defined typedef and is unrecognised without windows.h.

    Hum, 1st you wanted to hide task manager, then you wanted to delete registry keys,now you want to end processes, but as I can see your having serious trouble programmming, so I believe your little worm or whatever wont affect anyone. But it should be interesting learning basics about programming using a high-level API. 1st I advise you to learn to read and understand compiler warnings... Anyway good luck

    You should be outside playing with friends instead of coding and playing computer games - you'll have the rest of your life to do that.

    You're only 10??? !!!
    Well you're trying to write programs to be undetected by a computer usar, because any process can be easily detected in memory.
