Hey guys,
I have an interesting query, I wonder if there is something like this we can do.
Basically, I have two products. Lets call them A.exe and B.exe
They can ofcourse run simultaneously. But what I want to implement is that when A "sees" that B is running, I want A to enter an "integrated" mode, whereby I do some GUI adjustment, etc, so that both products can run side my side.
The first method would be to run a thread and manually keep polling the processes to see if B.exe is running, if it is running, allow the user to enter the requested mode.
I don't want that, as this would make my program a bit too heavy for my liking, even if I poll the processes every 1-2 seconds.
Is there a better way to do this? For instance, is there a way that I could set up an interrupt in the program everytime a new process is started on my computer, and if that process is B.exe, I can do the required GUI adjustment? Can anyone give me a hint as to how I can go about to achieve this?
