Hello,

I am launching a new app (pword for example) from my eVC++ application. I
want to perform some operation at the close of pword, say display a
messagebox. Is there any way of doing this.

Thanks in advance
Khris

Use WaitForSingleObject on the process handle - this will be signalled when
the application exits. However be aware that when the user taps the X in
Pocket Word the app doesn't quit as it will return to the DocumentList, and
a further tap will minimise the app, not exit completely.
You can work around this with Notes, PocketWord and Pocket Excel by using
the -opendoc argument e.g.

pword.exe -opendoc "\My Documents\somefile.pwd"
