Your OS API might be useful here. If you 're on windows check these links:

No, if you use system() you have to wait until the program finishes. There are though ways to close the program, again depending on your OS. If you're on windows you can use the SendMessage function to send a WM_CLOSE message to the window of the process you want to terminate.

EDIT: There's TerminateProcess too, but this doesn't give the program time to do any necessary cleanup before it stops.

Problem staying
Now I will replay what I wish to do in my program I wish run two diferent progrqams which are in my OS (Windpws). And when writen program running automaticaly switching from program to program
Example:
Run program 1 and if in this time runing program 2 than close it (program 2)
Please do not give me complete source code of this program.
Give me just function which run one program, function which close one program and function which will be controling the user (when he/she close program).
I was trying Create Process () and similar but I don´t understand code and compiler (GCC) always displaying error.
info I using wxDev c++ - IDE
Can anyone write toutrrial in this mode which are other toutrials in this site (A lot of examples) I will be very happy if anyone do this.
Please help anyone who can.
