How to find if an application is running or not

In vc++ , what function should I use to see if a particular application is running or not.
Can anybody please help me out.

well , you didn't mentioned if you're developing on WinNt or Win9x but in general there's an api that enumerates all the processes on the machine (psapi.dll for WinNt , i can't recall the one for Win9x) you can learn all about it by looking in the msdn. mail me if you need more specific info

U can use FindWindowEx
You can use the windows class which you can see with spy or
use the name of the titlebar
