Visual Basic, How do you tell when a program closed?

How do you tell when a program closed?

Author	Message
M. Harvey Jordan, Jr #1 / 3	How do you tell when a program closed? I'm trying to write a program in VB4 that can execute another program that the user designates, and then after they close that program I was going to run the rest of my program. I was going to use shell to execute the other program, but I'm not sure how to tell when that program has been closed. Do you use the task ID that the shell command gives you? And if so, what function do you use? Harvey Jordan

Answers differ for 16bit (easy) and 32bit (complex)-solution. Take a look at the MS-KB: - How to Determine When a Shelled 32-bit Process Has Terminated Article ID: Q129796 and for 16bit: - How to Determine When a Shelled Process Has Terminated Article ID: Q96844 Mathias Schiffer, Germany ----------------------------------------------- VB-FAQ: http://home.sol.no/jansh/vb/default.htm NG-tips: http://www.rat.de/metty/vbnews
