You can also just check every now and then to see if the application is among the openprocesses.
And Xavier, you can launch an app via shell command without it locking up - at least, Chipp's method so far has not locked up the Rev app for me. I would be happy to send it to you, if you wish. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MisterX Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 2:08 PM To: 'How to use Revolution' Subject: RE: external Windows program running? Doug, if you launch your pc application via shell, then when the user closes that application, rev just has to continue working... meanwhile while your app runs, rev is "blocked..." I find the behavior hideous but at least it does have ONE use... The other way is to check every now and then if the application quit via a shell("pstools! not exact syntax") from pstools or the like. you can find pstools at http://www.sysinternals.com then on Checkmyappisrunning if "myapp.exe" is not in getappsrunning() then -- do mything quit end if send "checkmyappisrunning" to me in 2 seconds end Checkmyappisrunning function getappsrunning return shell("plist" ) end getappsrunning cheers Xav http://monsieurx.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Revolution > Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 19:37 > To: How to use Revolution > Subject: Re: external Windows program running? > > Launching isn't the problem.
