timer actions

[dulux1309]

Hi all,

I have a small app that i am writing that uses enumerate process to see if a particular program is running, and performs an action when it stops.

This works by checking that the process is started by clicking a button, but I think i need a timer to keep polling to see when the application is no longer running. Can anybody give me a clue as to how to do this? I have looked at some of the timer options and am struggling to see how to implement this.

thanks in advance.

Just start your timer, for example, at the On Show event -

Page.StartTimer(1000);

Then in the On Timer event, put your code that you want after the conditions are met - this is in the help file -

instances_of_file = 0;
file_to_check_for = "yourprocess.exe";
processes = Window.EnumerateProcesses();

for j, file_path in processes do
file = String.SplitPath(file_path);
if (String.Lower(file.Filename..file.Extension)) == file_to_check_for then
--fire your event here
end
end

Many ways to do this, but this way will do the trick. HTH.

nice one. I kinda hacked out some code from the example and some of your previous good advice.

Thanks for your time.
