Hello people!

I have a little problem
I have to write a program wich execute an other executable
program on wince device.

wich Comman i have to use ?

(I program with vb.net 2003 and have a symbol pdt2800
device with pocket pc2000)
 
What I did was a DllImport for the CreateProcess() API from coredll.dll :

using System;


public class ProcessInfo
{
public IntPtr hProcess;
public IntPtr hThread;
public Int32 dwProcessId;
public Int32 dwThreadId;
}

public class Process
{
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("coredll.dll",
SetLastError=true)]

private extern static int CreateProcess(
String imageName,
String cmdLine,
IntPtr lpProcessAttributes,
IntPtr lpThreadAttributes,
Int32 boolInheritHandles,
Int32 dwCreationFlags,
IntPtr lpEnvironment,
IntPtr lpszCurrentDir,
IntPtr si,
ProcessInfo pi);

public static bool CreateProcess(String ExeName, String CmdLine)
{
ProcessInfo pi = new ProcessInfo();

return CreateProcess(ExeName, CmdLine, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, 0, 0,
IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, pi) != 0;
}

}


This is the way I call the static method to, per esempio, start the notes
app to view a note:

Process.CreateProcess("\\Windows\\Notes",docFile);

This is a good example. I was wondering if it would be
possible to wait for or be notified of the created process'
completion.

TIA,
Tom.

Do a P/Invoke of WaitForSingleObject() on the process handle (don't forget
to CloseHandle() on it before you leave, too). That will wait until the
process exits before allowing the thread to continue.
