I am with problem - it would be great to call some external programm from Delphi, wait - till it executes and exits and only then continue work of my Delphi program, how can I do this. I tried ShellExec and ShellExecEx - however - it only calls program and exits - it would be great to registre some handler - which monitors when this called program exits?
Any design ideas for such an problem could be very helpful, thanks in advance Kvarnerexpress |

I don't know about Delphi and I came across the same problem with I was doing on Visual Basic.
What I did was to call a DOS prompt, you may like to try it. |
