Detecting Another App's shutdown ????

[bryce burrows]

Hi there

I have an app (dde client) which gets information from another app which is a ddeserver (which i do not have source code for)

every 15 minutes or so

How can my app tell the moment the server app has shut down?

so it can shutdown too ?


Regards

Hi;

i have 2 suggestions

1. Use CreateProcess API to start the DDE server app from you DDE client app.

you will know the process (server program) terminal from this API.


2. Use FindWindo API function to get the dde server program in certain

interval by SetTimer function.

1) ShellExecuteEx

2) WaitForSingleObject
