Modal Application Window

Hi all,

I'm trying to execute a modal application window in a VC++ .NET project.

The project is basically a form which is used to launch various word processors in Windows; Notepad, Wordpad etc.

I'm having an extremely difficult time trying to find a way to make the Wordpad application window to be modal. (to avoid multiple copies to be opened)

Here's a snippet of code which is part of a menu option:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. {
  2.   STARTUPINFO  si;
  3.   PROCESS_INFORMATION  pi;
  4.  
  5.   CreateProcess(NULL, "Write.exe", NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0,  NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);
  6.  
  7.  
  8.  
  9.  WaitForSingleObject( pi.hProcess, INFINITE );
  10.  
  11.  CloseHandle( pi.hProcess );
  12.  CloseHandle( pi.hThread );
  13. }
  14.  
I'll appreciate any help on this.
