ShellExecute and wait

[rory]

see the attached example, also uses a simple timer to check whether the program is open or closed. Just stripped it down from a shell app i use, where i check whether multiple programs are opened to show icons or not. .. you can just change the variables into arrays if you want to check more than one program at the same time (or i can put the arrays back). Dont know if this is what you are looking for or not, but here it is anyway ..
