CeCreateProcess

CeCreateProcess starts a process on the CE device, and returns.

Is there a way to make the function block untill the CE program closes. (and
can I get the return code?)

Thanks,

Josh

Yes, use WaitForSingleObject on the process handle returned.

True on the handle returned from CreateProcess, but not CeCreateProcess,
which is a RAPI call made from a desktop application to start a new process
on the Windows CE device. No built-in support for blocking on that, but you
can write a RAPI extension DLL to do it.
