Obtain task list from task manager

[Kanu]

Hi All,

I have a CVI Labwindow program. I call a web page using InetLaunchDefaultWebBrowser function, when a button is pressed in the UI. I need to suspend the processing of my Labwindow program until web page is closed. I have a question here. How do I get the task list from the task manager ? I want to get the task list and not process list running on the host machine as there may be other instances of web browser running.

Thanks,

Kanu

Hi Kanu,

perhaps this code-snippet will help you ...

#include <tlhelp32.h>
