Mac alternative for FindWindow ?

[Jaco]

Hi,

I need to determine if another program is running.

In Delphi it can be done using the FindWindow function. Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac ?

Thanks,

Jaco

Thanks !

Do you have a small example how to call the functions in the Processes unit ?
I managed (I think) to loop through the processes with GetNextProcess, but failed at getting information using the ProcessInformationCopyDictionary function....

I don't have any examples, as I've never done any serious Carbon-related programming (I just read a lot of mailing lists and therefore I know what to Google for on developer.apple.com). Further, it's easier to use the MacOSAll unit rather than the individual interface units (it contains everything).
