I suppose if you wrote them yourself, you could quite easily check the class
string for the form.
Eg: if the form's name is MyDelphiForm, then the class should be
TMyDelphiForm.
To see if it is running...
Var
WindowHandle : HWND;
FileName : String;
begin
WindowHandle := FindWindow('TMyDelphiForm', nil);
if (WindowHandle = 0) then
begin
FileName := 'MyFilename.exe';
if (WinExec(pchar(FileName), sw_ShowNormal) < 32) then
WarningBox('Unable to start Application!'+#13#13+FileName);
end;
end;

Subject: [DUG]: Finding out if a specific application is running (under
NT)
I have a feeling that this was covered a few months ago, but I've lost my
mail folder, so I have to ask again.
Using D4, how do you find out if a specific appliction is currently
running. I have to write a program (similar to the Interbase Guardian)
which runs all the time and checks regularly to see if a couple of our
communication programs are up and running. If they have crashed, or self
terminated, (or some ignorant noddy has turned them off so he can use MS
Access) it has to restart them.
While I'm at it, can anyone point me to the DUG mailing list archive
website ?
Cheers,
Simon Mahony,
MetService.
