software monitor

[Johnson]

I know how to monitor newly created files etc but what i want to do now is monitor firefox and IE when they close.

my application is running in the bg and i need it to perform a command when the browser closes.

can any one point me in the right direction?

You could try to find the process by it's name and then capture the Exited-Event.

Something like:

                                Dim webProc() As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("firefox")
                                For Each proc As Process In webProc
                                    AddHandler proc.Exited, webProcExited
                                Next

' ...

    Public Sub Exited(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        'your code
    End Sub

says webProcExited not declared

That should be

AddHandler proc.Exited, [B][COLOR="Green"]AddressOf [/COLOR][/B]Procs_Exited

According to help for Exited event you also need to set this first:

proc.EnableRaisingEvents = True
