how to make command prompt wait till the execution of exe.

[nikhilqt]

while executing your exe file add a " & " at the end of line in unix,
it will set the your applications as Backend process and you may use your cmd prompt

bye

Thanks. I know about the backend process in UNIX. Am working in windows. that too, my request is user should feel that the exe is still processing[by not displaying prompt immediately]...

By the time you get the unwanted prompt back, is your program still running or do you merely want to give an impression that it is running ?!

by default on Windows, as soon as you start a gui application it will give you back the command prompt as soon as the program starts running.

Have a look at GetExitCodeProcess. If the process has not terminated and the function succeeds, the status returned is STILL_ACTIVE.

I believe i did not get what you are saying. The command prompt appearence depends on the subsystem what you set. If it is console then it comes, else it wont. I want my subsystem to be remain as windows.

yes program is still running, not an impression. The prompt has to wait till the execution completes.
