what i want to do is like xfire when you open xfire and go on a game it detects the games process and counts.
i need my program to detect alefclient.exe and when its started, i need it to start a timer to count the time i've played on it, so the timer will count up on label1 and the label1 must have the format (days, hours, mins, sec).
what i need is it to detect alefclient.exe and when it is detected, start timer then view the time in the format days, hours, mins, secs on a label.
Instead of depending on a timer to keep track of the run time it might be better to do it like this,
Get PID of the exe.
Get start time/date of PID.
In a timer call an elapsed time function to return the start time/date compared to current time/date.
At least thats how I've done it for a couple of my apps.....
exactly how i want it...
can you give me an example code?
See if this helps,Quote:

Day - hour:min:sec is the format i want to use. and i have no start date i just have a timer to make the label count 1 up every sec.
Not sure why unless it's a hidden exe, If you are using Shell to start the Exe might want to try using the returned value for the PID. PID=SHELL(....Quote:

Just use the ElapsedTime module and manually set the start time,Quote:

Code:'start/reset
StartDate = Now
Label1 = StartDate
Label2 = "00:00:00:00"
Timer1.Enabled = True' timer set to 1000ms
i got everything working... but my process is messed up.
