processes

[Adam Stallcup]

I have a process that is called from within vb2008 code, and if it is the first time the user asks to start a process, then go start it. If it is already running, then I want to maximize the window vs starting a new instance of it. I have tried the findwindow but do not seem to get any sucess out of it.

Try this approach first ...

If Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad").Length = 0 Then
            Me.Text = "Nah!"
        Else
            AppActivate(Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad").First.Id)
            SendKeys.SendWait("% X") ' note, that IS a space in there
        End If
