Here is the situation:
I have to create a program that would input another processes output stream into textbox. That it self wouldn’t cause too much problem. What does, however, is the fact that I have to run 5 instances of this console application and redirect output to 5 textboxes, as well as to be able to kill any of these processes at any time. As far as I have learned, the best way to do this is asynchronously. But the problem here is with killing processes, that are created on different thread. How do I kill it without having access to it since it doesn’t exist in scope where I have to kill it. My best guess is to get its PID on Process.Start(), so I can kill it, so…

Is it possible to fire any event from process on Process.kill() command?
And if not – is there a way to kill a process in about the same time interval as Process.Kill() that does fire some sort of event?

Or maybe someone could suggest me some other approaches or best practice on how these problems are usually solved?

EDIT: The reason I am running all processes on different threads is that I use Thread.Sleep() on some of them if there is and input parameter that tell me that the process must be killed after x seconds.

    Process.Kill() command for some reason, does, in fact, fire process exited event. Easiest way for me to know that the process was killed, was by making a volatile string that holds information about how it ended. (Change it to “killed” before process.kill etc…)
