How to check a Application/Process Running using Labwindows

[gavin.gqchen]

Hi,

How can I check whether a Process or an Application is running or not using CVI?

I used to try this in Labview, and for check App, this is a VI in NI's website. But I have no idear about using CVI to do this.

And also, how can I check whether a folder is open or using? Because I want to rename foder in my code, if it's open(maybe some file in the folder are open), the rename action will go wrong.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

using the forum search I found the following thread discussing your topic:

Maybe you can use some command in windows (provided by Microsoft) to get the tasks in task mgr.

I have searched for you and think the task list command can meet your requirement. Have a try...
