Programmer
I was wondering if Visual Basic supports any type of program monitoring. The program that I am developing is a main menu system that shells out (executes or calls) to other programs. What I am wanting to do is prevent two instances of the same program from executing.
Example: One of the menu options is to run a network terminal emulator program. If the user already has a terminal windows running, I do not want the users to be able to open another terminal window. If the program is already running on the computer (in the background or visable) I want to user to be prompted with an error message stating: "That Program is Already Running. Please Close it Before Continuing"
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your Contribution!
