Tips & Tricks:

Please add some!

Sample Code:

Both of the below examples assume that pi is an instnace of a ProcessInfo class. Examples of the ProcessInfo class can be found on the CreateProcess page.

C#

int WAIT_OBJECT_0 = 0;
int waitResult = 0;
waitResult = WaitForSingleObject(pi.hProcess,INFINITE);

VB

Dim WAIT_OBJECT_0 As Int32 = 0
Dim result As Int32
result = WaitForSingleObject(pi.hProcess, INFINITE)
