Restarting EXE

[TheVig]

If I have an EXE compiled from QM and I wish to restart it, what is the best way to go about doing that?

Thanks,
Jim

Function exe_main_function

Code:

;/exe
if mes("Restart" "" "YN")='Y'
,run ExeFullPath

Is it also possible to use this when an EXE is created from a function?
The problem is when I use the code in the example below, the EXE is not shutdown while another instance is loaded so I end up with 2 dialogs.

The dialog shows the contents of a textfile, it is one line and it contains the line: "TEST 1"
1) I start the below compiled EXE, and dialog shows "TEST 1"
2) I re-edit the textfile (I now put "TEST 2" in the textfile)
3) then I press the 'reboot' button and I end up with 2 dialogs one showing "TEST 1" and the other dialog "TEST 2"

Function restart_exe_dlg

Code:

\Dialog_Editor

if(!ShowDialog("" &sub.DlgProc 0)) ret

To close dialog from dialog procedure, can be used clo hDlg or DT_Cancel hDlg.
