I want to run an external application like a modal form. I'm using the 
ShellExecuteEx and the WaitForSingleObject windows api functions, but in 
this way the main window (GUI) is not repainted.

Waht need I do to make the main window capable of paint it self ?
I must use CreateProcess and GetExitCodeprocess instead ?
or is possible use ShellExecuteEx to accomplish this ?

Thanks.
