application already running

[micro]

Hi to all
shell is used to start applications, and to see if an application is already running?

Thanks.

Shell can only start an application, it cannot tell when that application ends or whether an application is already running or not.

The Process object in my Threading library http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/addit...-compiler.html can start an application and tell you when it ends but cannot tell whether an application is already running or not. While the Thread object needs an optimised compiled app to work the Process object will work in all applications but needs .NET 2.0.

Check out GetProcesses in dzts dz-hw libraries http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/addit...library-2.html See post #15 for the library and post #18 for my not-very-good help file.
