Tracking Shell process

[DerFarm]

I have a shell execute statement Shell("c:\,,,,,&quot and it returns a double, which is apparently the ID of the process.

How do I track the ID until it closes?

Alternatively, How can I determine that the process HAS closed?

Search this site for Shell and Wait, any date, all words.

Good Luck

Instead of Shell statement, you have to execute the program using CreateProcess function and have to watch its return handle using WaitForSingleObject function.
