That's my current workaround, but it seems such a shame. I was hoping to let wxWidgets do all the system-specific work. Thanks for the effort, though!

Thanks for verifying, asteelef! Yes, I'm writing a console app, and using wxwidgets to ensure portability. When you say Yes it works just fine for me. I'm assuming you didn't compile the identical code but used a variant form, i.e within a wxApp. Does the 'Main' version work for you? I'll take a loo...

Hi asteelef, Yes, both processes run to completion. As you can see by the output above: (LINE 1) 'countTo100k' begins to count (LINE 2) 'test' breaks in with its message (LINE 3) 'countTo100k' continues to completion I think that the -1 may just be an indication that it's running asynchronously, as ...

no response as yet, so better maybe to be more explicit: I can't get wxEXEC_SYNC to have any effect on synchronicity of wxExecute, which behaves asynchronously regardless. In the example above, 'test' should wait for 'countTo100k' to complete and then output its message, instead it continues without...

Hi All, the following encapsulates my problem: //test.cpp #include <cstdlib> #include <iostream> #include <wx/utils.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int waited = 123; waited = wxExecute ( "t:\\countTo100k", wxEXEC_SYNC ); cout << endl << "i've waited till "<< waited << "! are you done yet???" <...
