API_APPRUN in .VCX form
Ed Rauh
This contains PROCESS.VCX - a visual class library for the API_APPRUN class described in the Launch App and wait w/o RUN or DOS box FAQ#7774. The class gives the ability to run DOS and WinApps from inside VFP using the CreateProcess() API call, and allows you to wait on termination or return immediately, and allows you to examine the execution status and termination code from an executable run by the class. It takes care of managing the process and thread handles, removing some potential memory bleeds from not properly disposing of process and thread handles. Also related FAQ#7789 (API_APPRUN - Executable launch management class).

Thank you. Nice class. But unfortunately I cannot say it for documentation. :) It is very useful for me... Metin Emre, June 24, 2005

Thanks Ed, even if you never wrote another line of code, this class would have been enough for you to be remembered. I'm using it for years, probably since year 2000. Dragan Nedeljkovich, September 19, 2007

Thanks, Ed, for everything you've contributed to the VFP community. RIP Naomi Nosonovsky, March 24, 2009
