How do i check to see if a program is open?

Thanks!

code:

---

function IsProcessRunning(ProcessName){
    var WMI = new ActiveXObject('WbemScripting.SWbemLocator');
    var WMIInstance = WMI.ConnectServer('.', "root\\cimv2");
    var Processes = WMIInstance.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = '" + ProcessName + "'");
    return ((Processes.Count > 0) ? true : false);
}

//Example usage
var NotepadRunning = IsProcessRunning("notepad.exe");

---

Thanks - i'll post back if it works!

The color tags messed up:

Nice function though .

Ok - i put the function and an if into my script, it returns i cant save it because it has some sort of error.

If I take the if's to see if program is running out, it still wont save. However taking out you function and it saves.

heres the source:

code:

function setNowPlaying(enabled, type, format, title, artist, album, contentID){
    if(typeof(type) == "undefined")type = "Music";
    if(typeof(format) == "undefined")format = "";
    if(typeof(title) == "undefined")title = "";
    if(typeof(artist) == "undefined")artist = "";
    if(typeof(album) == "undefined")album = "";
    if(typeof(contentID) == "undefined")contentID = "";
    enabled = Math.abs(enabled);
   
    var WM_COPYDATA = 0x4A;
   
    //reference
    var song = Interop.Allocate(512);
   
    //change the Music thing to Games or Office or
    song.WriteString(0, "\\0" + type + "\\0" + enabled + "\\0" + format +"\\0" + title +"\\0" + artist + "\\0" + album + "\\0" + contentID + "\\0");
   
   
    //write our copyDataStruct Structure
    var copyDataStruct = Interop.Allocate(12);
    copyDataStruct.WriteDWORD(0, 0x547); //dwData
    copyDataStruct.WriteDWORD(4, song.Size); //cbData
    copyDataStruct.WriteDWORD(8, song.DataPtr);  //lpData
   
   
    //Send it to all open messengers
    var hMSGRUI = 0;
    do{
        hMSGRUI = Interop.Call("User32", "FindWindowExW", 0, hMSGRUI, "MsnMsgrUIManager", 0);
        if(hMSGRUI > 0){
            Interop.Call("User32", "SendMessageW", hMSGRUI, WM_COPYDATA, 0, copyDataStruct);   
        }
    }while(hMSGRUI != 0);
}

Looks like you copied the bbcode for the colouring (which screwed up!).
Take another look at my post, I removed the fancy colouring

Also, try not to double post, use the edit button (at the bottom-right corner of your post) instead.

Thanks it works - just got to add an else to setNowPlaying(false); if its not running and move the times so it still adds another timer event if its not running! THANKS!

I'll post back if I have problems with the else!
