Detecting Clarion running

[NewsArchive]

I know I saw this somewhere earlier, but I can't seem to find it. Can
someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Bill,

I guess you can use the "Detect active application" action to test for the
C60SRV.EXE (I don't think you can detect the clarion executable as it's
16bit).

Yep, want to know if Clarion is running prior to attempting template
registration.

Friederich actually published something a little while ago (about 3 script
lines or so). I just can't seem to find it. I want to alert users that
Clarion is running before attempting to register the templates. I'll check
out the "Detect active application".

I think the following should help:

Dunno if this example from last August is the one you saw, Bill.
He's using detect active application.

Just to make clear: The C60SRV.EXE is ONLY Part of Clarion 6!!! For older
versions you need to check for C55SRV.EXE, C50SRV.EXE or C40SRV.EXE
depending on the version your are registering with. I think ALL the IDEs
need to be closed as I'm not sure if C5.5 and C6 were running that there was
any way to tell the DDE which IDE to connect to since the DDE server for all
the versions is named the same!

Here is text copy of what I have developed:

Set Variable %IT_CLARION4_RUNNING% to FUNCTION:Detect Active
Application(C4SRVX.EXE)
Set Variable %IT_CLARION5_RUNNING% to FUNCTION:Detect Active
Application(C5SRVX.EXE)
Set Variable %IT_CLARION55_RUNNING% to FUNCTION:Detect Active
Application(C55SRVX.EXE)
Set Variable %IT_CLARION60_RUNNING% to FUNCTION:Detect Active
Application(C60SRVX.EXE)
Set Variable %IT_CLARION_RUNNING% to "1"
If %IT_CLARION4_RUNNING% Equals "603" Then
If %IT_CLARION5_RUNNING% Equals "603" Then
If %IT_CLARION55_RUNNING% Equals "603" Then
If %IT_CLARION60_RUNNING% Equals "603" Then
! No clarion versions running
Set Variable %IT_CLARION_RUNNING% to "0"
End
End
End
End

If %IT_REGISTER_TEMPLATES% Equals "1" on Position "1" Then
If %IT_CLARION_RUNNING% Equals "1" Then
Display Message Box "Please make sure that the Clarion IDE is NOT
runni..." -- "Registering Clarion templates"
End
Register all pending Clarion Templates
Else
Display Message Box "You selected not to register the templates during
...." -- "Register Templates"
End

This handles checking for ANY of the old IDE's running and pops a message
before registering the templates. Seems to work pretty well so far:)

Arnor,

I did a little tweaking to your excellent code. Basically added C7
detection, plus a loop and message display to ensure Clarion is closed
before proceeding. See attached.

Based on my tests, it should also be possible to do C7 template registration
if the C7 IDE is open.

There is no need to add the C7 deteection. The C7 IDE is NOT run when you
register in it, only the Clarioncl.exe. I've registered templates multiple
times with the C7 IDE open without anything happening:)
