#50: How can I execute a program and have my code wait until it is finished? |
|
The next procedure allows you to execute a program and to wait
until it's finished: function WinExecAndWait32(FileName: string; Visibility: Integer): dWord; var zAppName: array[0..512] of Char; zCurDir: array[0..255] of Char; WorkDir: string; StartupInfo: TStartupInfo; ProcessInfo: TProcessInformation; begin StrPCopy(zAppName, FileName); GetDir(0, WorkDir); StrPCopy(zCurDir, WorkDir); FillChar(StartupInfo, Sizeof(StartupInfo), #0); StartupInfo.cb := Sizeof(StartupInfo); StartupInfo.dwFlags := STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW; StartupInfo.wShowWindow := Visibility; if not CreateProcess(nil, zAppName, { pointer to command line string } nil, { pointer to process security attributes } nil, { pointer to thread security attributes } false, { handle inheritance flag } CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE or { creation flags } NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, nil, { pointer to new environment block } nil, { pointer to current directory name } StartupInfo, { pointer to STARTUPINFO } ProcessInfo) then Result := -1 { pointer to PROCESS_INF } else begin WaitforSingleObject(ProcessInfo.hProcess, INFINITE); GetExitCodeProcess(ProcessInfo.hProcess, Result); CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hProcess); CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hThread); end; end;
