    Checking whether an application is running

    Is there anyway I can get MMF2 to check whether or not a certain application is running as a process? For example, say there is an application called test.exe - is there an extension or anything that would give me a true/false value depending on whether test.exe is currently running on the user's computer?

    I know there is a "check for visible app" condition within GFO but the application I need to check is just a process, and not an actual visible app.

    The Process Viewer object comes with the MMF2 Developer bonus pack.

    Oh, I can't afford the developer version at the moment..
    So there is no way to do this in the standard version then?

    you could get your program to save an ini, then run a exe that uses that ini, get somone with MMF2Dev to build the exe for you the way you want it, and make it use the ini for checking ect...

    Well, the Big Box object can end processes, I'm not sure about checking if they are running.
