Developer TIPS

Visual Basic - How to determine if Corel WordPerfect® is open.

Here is an example of Visual Basic code to find if Corel WordPerfect® is open. It uses the API call FindWindow and it uses the WordPerfect class "WordPerfect.9.32" to search all the windows open on the desktop. If it finds a window with this class, a messagebox will pop up stating that WordPerfect is open.

Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Public Sub FindWin()
Dim wHnd As Long
Dim lpClassName As String
lpClassName = "WordPerfect.9.32"
wHnd = FindWindow(lpClassName, vbNullString)
If wHnd > 0 Then
MsgBox ("WordPerfect is open")
Else
MsgBox ("WordPerfect is closed")
End If
End Sub
