Post by: andersonscinfo on July 06, 2020, 08:48:48 pm

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to control an application running with TProcess, detail is that it was not my app that ran it initially.

Lazarus stable, fpc stable, S.O win 7

Afaik no. TProcess wraps ExecuteProcess/execve, and the various preparations for it.   Maybe you could reuse some code for handling the pipes, but even those depend on how they are prepared.
