Hi UTers,
I need to know when a program that I RUN /N from vfp is closed before I continue with my vfp code. When I "RUN /N emodel.exe" I find that vfp continues even though emodels.exe is still on the desktop. How do I develop a wait state within vfp so that I don't proceed until emodels.exe is closed. I can do it with word in the following way:

****************************************************************************

DECLARE LONG FindWindowA IN WIN32API STRING class, STRING title
DECLARE INTEGER SendMessage IN Win32API INTEGER HWND,INTEGER Msg, Short WParam, INTEGER LPARAM)

Declare short IsWindow in WIN32API integer
declare Sleep in win32API integer

oWord = Createobject('Word.Application')
* Pass the class name for Word - "OpusApp" to FindWindowA
oWordHandle = FindWindowA('OpusApp',NULL)
WITH oWord
.Documents.Add
.Visible=.T.
.Selection.InsertAfter ("This is a test.")
.Application.Activate && Activate Word.
ENDWITH
=INKEY(3) && Wait a couple seconds then close Word.

** =SendMessage(oWordHandle,16,0,0)

** loop until word closes
do while IsWindow(owordhandle)#0
=sleep(250)
enddo

** now that word is closed we can continue
***********************************************************************

** but this is not WORD and emodels.exe is not a server
** please review the code below and advise

= messagebox("you are in vfp Press OK to activate model program")

** get path to emodel Program on this computer
cemodel= c:\emodel\emodel.exe
cUniqueID = "123456"

If !File(cemodel)
= MESSAGEBOX("Sorry.... eCentricPractice could not locate GeoDigm emodel program.")
RETURN .f.
ENDIF

cCommandLine = "PATIENT_ID " + cUniqueID + " JPEG_ABO_ALL" && v_patients.cID

** WAIT WINDOW ccommandline
cRunLine = ["]+cemodel+["]+ " " + cCommandLine

WAIT WINDOW cRunLine TIMEOUT .3
RUN /n &cRunLine

* this is where I would like to test if emodel.exe is closed
= messagebox("You are back in vfp")
