Sorry for the simple question, how to control Processes

(1/1)

newman:
Hello,

I have a simple question, how can I start, end and check whether an application (.exe) program ??

I have a vague idea that TProcess is used but how I can make the operation asynchronous. I went through this http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/fcl/process/tprocess.html

In other words say program1 starts another program (say program2), now I do not want program 1 to wait until program 2 ends, how can I do this ???

thanks in advance

"Use the Wiki, Lu... er... newman." :D

(I just found it looking for "TProcess" in the wiki's search. ::))

Thanks, but isn't there a more detailed explanation, such as a tutorial etc. The problem is I am more used to VB and this is the first time I am freepascal to control processes.

The article pointed by Ñuño_Martínez serves as a tutorial as well. Haven't you read it yet?

What are your needs that the wiki doesn't cover? If it's hard to tell, post the VB code.

Thanks all,
I got the picture.
