If app.exe is running then form1, else form2

Hi,

I have application.frm with a command button on it. When i press the command button i'd like form1.frm to be displayed and app.exe to run. Then when app.exe is finished what it's doing and closes, i want form1.frm to unload and form2.frm to load.

I guess i need something to check if app.exe is running in memory or something? I'd appreciate whatever help you guys can provide for me :) I'm new to VB but i'm getting better :D

Thanks.

Search for Shell and Wait or Wait on application to finish.



Good Luck

Doing a search on that returned results on how to wait for shell commands and such. Can you please help me write the code to do what i need? :)

Yahoo/Google are your friends. This code is out there and nearly everywhere...

In this search there are code snipits to whole progs/functions just in the first five matches...

I have found codes like the following, but i have trouble understanding how they work, and how to modify them and implement them to suit what i'm trying to do.

Can somebody please explain the code to me?

Thanks.

This example may be easier for you to understand...

However, it waits for an infinite amount of time which will make your program become unresponsive so instead use a value like 10 within a doevents loop testing the results of the API call kind of like in the example you posted.



Good Luck

That was far easier to understand, i think i'm good now :D I'll have a play with this code.

Thanks!
