External program minimized

[robyf1]

Hello everyone (sorry for my english)..

I have this problem:

I need to catch when a windows of external program is minimized. Can LabVIEW knows this? I need to launch an external program (I did it) and then waiting for its minimized to continue.

Thanks in advance

Hi roby,

it's not a problem of "can LabVIEW do this", but of the Windows API you need to access! (I guess you use a Windows computer…)

You need to gather information about the program window and its state using the Windows API. There used to be a Windows API function collection on NI website, try to find it. Start here…
