Knowing when a program has finished

[Michael_Kamen]

Hi,

I've made a program that lets users add a .reg file to the registry. When that's done, I want my app to end. But when executing, regedit has this messagebox popped up with a conformation. And if my app ends while this messagebox pops up, the messagebox gets minimized and stuff, very irritating.
SO my question is: how can I detect when the user has clicked the 2 messageboxes away, so my app is ready to quit?

Tnx in advance.

what type of message boxes are they

are they ones in ur code which you open (msgbox) could use input box??

the boxes arent opened from another exe/windows or something??

These messageboxes are from Regedit. It asks: "Do you want to add 'file' to the registry",yesno and if you say 'yes' then it says: "'File' has been added to the registry".
So I want my app to end when the user has clicked the 'OK' button on this last messagebox from Regedit.

If you're just shell'ing out the .reg file, there is a parameter you can pass to make 0 popups happen from regedit.

Here's a lil extract from a program I did along time ago.

ret = Shell("regedit.exe /s " & App.Path & "\run.reg", 0)

If this doesn't help, please ignore this post.
