HELP: How-to determine if 32-bit shelled app is finished
Hello,
My program needs to be able to detect when a shelled application has
finished executing (I'm using VB 4.0 Pro 32-bit).
I found the MS Knowledge Base article (Q129796) with the code and all. I
cut and pasted the code into my app. However, it doesn't work. What
happens is the following:
The external application is launched and begins to load. But after a
few seconds it locks up and just sits there doing nothing. If I press
CTRL-ALT-DEL, it says [Not Responding] by the application.
Is there an error in the KB article? Does someone have some other code
they have used successfully for this purpose?
Thank you,
Mark
