Some issues with dc_isapprunning()

the documentation shows an example:

IF DC_IsAppRunning('XbpDialog',,'MYAPP.EXE',.t.)
RETURN .f.
ENDIF


but, this will not run... the second parameter (title) must be used.

if the title doesn't match EXACTLY, it never gets to this code further down in the function:

if !Upper( cTitle ) $ Upper( cWinTitle ) .and. !Upper( cFile ) $ Upper( cWinFile )
Return( .f. )
End

This function now requires an exact match in the title..

a partial match in the title, or using the filename would be a major improvement...

We were hoping to display the appsize in the titlebar after the app name..

If you look at the source code for DC_IsAppRunning() it makes several calls to Windows API functions.

I have not yet found a better way to do this.

you can try this : WildFindWindow.zip

does it help ?

other Solution : get Array of Tasklist and scan for your Application Note : c:\exp19\Source\Dclipx\_dcfunct.prg does have same DLL Function !

Hi,

I use this function and it works very well:
IsApprunning (Namexe, Title, lRestore)
you have the choice between a single parameter (exe Name or Title) or both.


Attached is a text file containing the source, you can adapt it to therefore replace DC_Isaprunning Function
