Extended Functions Class Help

This class contains functions that allow you to start another executable, check whether it is still running, and terminate it.

LaunchExecutableEx returns a handle in the third parameter. That handle is used in ExecutableHasTerminated and TerminateExecutable. When you no longer need the handle, call RetireExecutableHandle.

Note  If you do not want to obtain a handle, you can pass NULL as the third parameter to LaunchExecutableEx.
Note  LaunchExecutableEx starts a program and returns without waiting for it to exit. If you want to wait for the program to exit, use the system() function in the ANSI C Library.

Library: Utility Library
