C++ Sending a simple signal in Windows

I have a java console application, this application starts to shutdown when I press CTRLC. Could you please tell me, how I can simulate pressing CTRLC from my C++ application if I know only pid and have process handle?

As I understood, I must send SIGINT signal to process, how can I do it?

p.s. Solutions on SO are not working!

Thanks!

You can use kill for that. You need the process id (pid) of your java application

pid_t java_app;
kill(java_app, SIGINT);
