Oh wow, this is nice.
So, with the (runningprocesses) routine by Lee there, it returns a list of all the running processes that we could place a call to (member) in order to determine if a particular app is running, for what i'm working on currently I could use this to determine if I need a call to (vlax-release-object) before running the main function.
Or, alternatively, a call to (member) with the returned list could do all sorts of nifty tricks such as (alert)ing that a software is not opened that should be, for purposes of some routines.
Could also use this in conjunction with a reactor to be able to tell if any programs are opened/closed....via a reactor to check this list....could log all instances of a software being opened and by which user, etc.....all sorts of tricks this function makes available, really cool Lee/alan!
