Find window handle and then terminate this window

Declare Function GetWindowThreadProcessId Lib "user32" (ByVal Hwnd As Long, lpdwProcessId As Long) As Long


Declare Function TerminateProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal ApphProcess As Long, ByVal uExitCode As Long) As Long


Declare Function OpenProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwDesiredAccess As Long, ByVal blnheritHandle As Long, ByVal dwAppProcessId As Long) As Long


Declare Function CloseHandle Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hObject As Long) As Long
Const PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS = 0


Function KillWindow(Hwnd)
Dim PROCESSID As Long
Dim exitcode As Long
Dim MyProcess As Long
Call GetWindowThreadProcessId(Hwnd, PROCESSID) ' Get the processid from the window
MyProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, False, PROCESSID) ' open the process by processid
AppKill = TerminateProcess(MyProcess, exitcode) ' Terminate the process by process
Call CloseHandle(MyProcess) ' close the process
End Function

Try sending a WM_CLOSE message to it.
