VB Forum / General / December 2004Detecting an EXE
Is there a way in VB to detect an exe or other program is running? Mo >Is there a way in VB to detect an exe or other program is running? > >Mo Lot's of ways. Depending on what you need to accomplish, this could be as simple as using the FindWindow API function or, as complex enumerating processes. Maybe if you explain further what you need, someone can offer more specific suggestions.

Thompson - Microsoft MVP-Visual Basic Fear and Loathing in LasVegas Your right Brian. What I'm trying to do is write code to detect if VNC.exe (Virtual Networking Computing) program has been loaded or running. Just to let you know the vnc program is running in windows services. Hope this clear for you Mo > What I'm trying to do is write code to detect if VNC.exe (Virtual > Networking Computing) program has been loaded or running.

When this program creates at least one window, the best way is to install a system wide shell hook which informs you immediately about the program start (for an example see http://www.mentalis.org/vbexamples/list.php?category=MISC, DSCBTSHL). If not, you can use a timer an periodically check for the progs process like shown in http://www.mentalis.org/vbexamples/vbexample.php?vbexample=PROCENUM. Juergen. |
