Enrique
Thanks, this info was not in the old GiD manual. I’ve downloaded the new one
:-)
Ok, so I have launched an app in the background with
exec $Processname & NUL: &

Is there anyway of finding out when it has finished so I can display a
process finished dialogue?
eg pseudo code

when proces finished WarnWinText " process_finished "

regards
Mark

Read GiD help about TCL-TK EXTENSION-Using EXEC in GiD

Must use:
exec notepad.exe $Flle & NUL: &

Win2000 GiD 6.3.0b
Hi Gid team
Thanks for your help with the InitWindow problem it solved the problem.
I have another problem with the exec command in a problemtype.tcl file, I
want to launch notepad with a file preloaded so I can edit some data.
exec notepad.exe $Flle &
This works OK under win98 (academic) but I get the error as shown in the
attached gif when run under win2000
It works strangely if I just do: exec notepad.exe $Flle i.e. if I move the
notepad window it leaves a copy in the old position & if I continue to
move
& drop I get multiple copies which don’t disappear until I close the
notepad
window?
I get the same error if I omit the filename but retain the ampersand (just
launch notepad in the background) Both work fine if I run them from a wish
window running Tcl/Tk 8.4.3 ?
Is there a fix?
Thanks again
mark

This is my gidlist request (4-9-2003) to a similar question

It exists a GiD-tcl procedure: runExe, to run a external process with more control: blocking or not the execution, callling automatically a callback procedure while or after terminate the process, with a timeout, etc. (see the file \scripts\runexe.tcl )

This is a sample use (see file \scritps\RetrieveProblemtype.tcl) of the procedure runExe to start the program “unzip.exe” to uncompress the file ‘DownloadFile’ and call a procedure, named in this sample AfterUnzip.

set exe “"[file join $::GIDDEFAULT unzip.exe]" -x -o "$DownloadFile"”
runExe run $exe -blocking false -callback [list AfterUnzip %m $w $DownloadFile] -timeout 3600

proc AfterUnzip { mode args } {
switch -exact – $mode {
prepare {
WarnWinText " process started "
}
output {
#WarnWinText "args=$args "
}
finished {
WarnWinText " process_finished "
}
}
}
the parameter %m is automatically set to: prepare , output or finished
if it’s ‘finished’ then can show a finish message or close a window,
‘output’ can be used to update an advance bar, etc.
