Gentlemen: Please reply to my two previous (and this) messages regarding the feasibility of controlling a child program from within another program. Specifically, I am thinking of controlling a program which is on CD-ROM. Not just starting it with WinExe and letting it run to completion, I would like the parent program to seize control at predetermined intervals. How would I go about this. Please reply, my first message (unanswered as yet) was on July 2. This is a commercial application and my client is asking me (often) if I can do it.
