Don't use ShellExecute() for this but CreateProcess() along with 
WaitForSingleObject().
Something like this:

    PROCESS_INFORMATION piProcInfo;
    STARTUPINFO siStartInfo;

    memset(&siStartInfo, NULL, sizeof(STARTUPINFO));
    siStartInfo.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
    //launch your application
    CreateProcess(NULL, "yourApp.exe",
                  NULL, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, NULL,
                  &siStartInfo, &piProcInfo);

    //Wait for your application to end
    WaitForSingleObject(piProcInfo.hProcess,INFINITE);
    ...
