Launching external exe in MFC, how can I bring exe to front if already opened?

The documentation is a bit unclear, which might have been what confused you. When targetting an executable program ShellExecute() will always launch a new process. What the documentation is referring to when it mentions restoring a minimized window is if you are targetting a document (like a Word doc), and the application registered to display the document is already running.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
