How to send Ctrl+C to a specific process in VB.net?

Question

cmd/bat

I wrote a GUI where I set the settings, I launch a console program with these settings via CMD.
The problem is that I want to stop the console program by pressing a button in the GUI, this is usually done through "Ctrl + C".

- I tried to just kill the process, but then the file with which the program worked was damaged.
- I thought to find the CMD in which I launched the program in the processes and stop there, however, all CMD windows in the processes are called the same.

Do you have any ideas how to send Ctrl+C directly to a console program?
(if possible, write immediately with the code, I'm new at this and I may not understand in words :) )

Answer 1

Since the console program is written by you, the solution may be simpler. Programs can communicate with each other via a pipe. Those. you can implement this and the GUI will just send a command to the console and it will close properly.
As noted above, it is better not to use keyboard emulation.
