How to write code that waits for the A process to disappear

[kyjdp]

I want to run two programs: A.exe and B.exe

1. First run A.exe,

2. When the process of A program disappears, and then run B.exe

How to write code that waits for the A process to disappear? Any suggestions and comments are welcome, thanks in advance

QM exe processes have a hidden window. You can see it in QM dialog "Explore windows". That window can be used to wait or to end the process.

Suggest:
In the Wait for dialog box, add an option, such as the picture below

or:
Add a built-in command such as runwait

In autohotkey, the realization of this function is very simple, only need to use the runwait command on it
