WinCC Professional function to stop only the Graphics Runtime

WinCC Professional Runtime V13 SP1 Update 9:

Hello,

Is there a function in WinCC Professional to stop the Graphics Runtime only(other than from the System Tray)?  I want to keep the WinCC services such as the OPC Server running and be able to close the graphics.

Thanks,

 Ok, I did some research and found out how to solve my problem.

I found this forum with the code below for the solution:

Dim Running_Processes, Individual_Process

Set Running_Processes = GetObject("winmgmts:root\CIMV2").ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name='pdlrt.exe'")
if Running_Processes.count >=1 then
for each Individual_Process in Running_Processes
Individual_Process.terminate
next
End if
set Individual_Process = nothing
Set Running_Processes= nothing

 It worked like I wanted.

Thanks,
