RE: [MI-L] Run Application

Simon,

Some time ago I hade the same request and a friendly person (I think it was Bo Thomsen) on MapInfo-L supplied me with a Delphi DLL, that could do the trick.

The trick is to use a Windows API function that can wait for the called application to finish, before returning to the caller.

Let me know if you are interested and I'll send you the snippet that was given to me. As it contains files, I can't send them thru MapInfo-L

Not sure that the 1st will have finished before the 2nd begins? Don't know myself.

The first could set like a semaphore flag, in a table, and the second could wait for this flag to have been set before running. e.g.

Dim llGoAhead as logical

llGoAhead = FALSE

Run application "App1" ' When this app finishes it sets flag SemaTable.LSEMFLAG

Do while not llGoAhead

Select LSEMFLAG from SemaTable into csrTemp

llGoAhead = csrTemp.LSEMFLAG

Loop

Run application "App2"

This might not be necessary if the apps run discretely but HTH

I have a script which issues two Run Application commands.

How can I ensure that the first application has finished running before issuing the second command?
