Hi,
I want to start an external program by ArchiCAD 13. The program starts but ArchiCAD is blocked then. But I want to switch between ArchiCAD and my program.
I tried to start the program by a modeless dialog. But then the dialog and ArchiCAD are blocked both.
Is there a way to start a external application modeless?
Thanks for helping
Andreas

It's a libary which I added to the project. And I included its header-file. So I called the execute-function of the libary.
What kind of process are you trying to launch? And what is its intended purpose?

Thanks. I changed the show-methods in my application. Now it starts modeless.
