calling executables from CVI application and Getting return values?

[ikerugo77]

Hi,
I use an application created in Delphi to export some data, i call it from a CVI applicaction with arguments using LauncheExecutable() , but i need to know the result code of that application. How, from CVI, i can get that value returned from that application before it finishes?

No, not without modifying the EXE program. The easiest way to accomplish something like this is to have the other process write the status to a file or to send the status back to the other application through interprocess communication such as TCP.
