I opened a file(del.txt) in wordpad using following code in java
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " +"del.txt");
}catch(Exception e){}
Can anyone add code for notify whenever uses closed the wordpad instance of that file.
Sorry to say i tried this method but it is not seem to wok.
I tried it as
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + "del.txt");
p.waitFor();
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("EXIT.");
}
It is not working. Please suggest something else.
Thanking you
Try this:
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("wordpad.exe del.txt");
p.waitFor();
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("EXIT.");
}

rundll32 "launches" the application in background, and returns immediately.
So if you use rundll32, Java CANNOT know when the application closes.
You simply CANNOT do it.
