Hi Bernard,
Thanks for your answer.
Yes, that will work if there is one application hosting a WebView2 process. However if there are multiple applications using a webview2 control then you might be killing the process of another application. Something you'd probably want to prevent.
The solution provided in the private/preview version of AntView with BrowserProcessIDLong is passing the actual process ID as returned by the WebView2 control. I know how-to parse that manually from child processes via the Windows API, but that only makes sense if there's a problem with their implementation. I'm not aware of any actual issues with their solution, so best to pass on what the fine people at Microsoft gives us.
I'd expect BrowserProcessIDLong to also work for vbscript.
Note that the default stackoverflow answer for vb6 also uses long.

PS nice to see someone who knows their way in WMI queries. They can be very useful!
