receiving notification when user runs a program
hi,
i am creating a program to respond to other programes run by the user
eg. if the user runs a program with the caption "hello", my program gets notified and perform some action.
so the basic problem is: how do i get this notification to my program??
so i am looking for something like
OnProgramRun
{
if (program_caption = "hello")
{do action .....}
}
platform : win98se
:)

You want to know when a specific program is executed? Is that your question?
kinda
my main objective is to respond to a program being ran
do act accordingly
eg. if that program has a caption "hello"
i perform a certain action
if tha program has a caption "today"
i perform another action

Add
[B]CWnd* pWnd = AfxGetMainWnd();
pWnd->PostMessage(WM_USER+01, 1, LPARAM lParam);
to your main code under OnInitDialog(), if the application is dialog based
or to InitInstance() if the project is normal Win32 project. Then add OnMessage(WM_USER+01, OnProgramExecute);. After that add function named OnProgramEcecute to your WinApp.h or to WinAppDlg.h.
Then just create the function, and write your own code under it.
