check for process existence

**kompotFX** · 2011-04-20, 16:50

Hi

how to check if exe process runs in Qt code?
I would like to check for this before I run QProcess::startDetached() in order to avoid multiple background processes running.
Something similar to TFindProcess stuff?
..or how to include symbian code inside Qt?

can you let us know the other process you want to check for running state is written by you ?

it shouldn't matter who is written it. But in this case no, it's not me. The one I know for sure it is non gui exe written in symbian c++

AFAIK you can't check if a process is running or not in 2 cases with you have not started the application with attached process and you have created the other process with singleton application in mind

if you really want this type then you can try TFindProcess .

ok, but how to integrate TFindProcess symbian c++ code into Qt application code?

**skumar_rao** · 2011-04-20, 18:04

you can use the Symbian.C++ in device builds as normal API call in Qt. donot for to put the Symbian Macro around the Symbian.c++ API and header includes to avoid errors while compiling for other platforms.
