Hi,
Our R&D group uses IDL and has written .pro scripts for use in
testing. Our test engineers use a Microsoft Windows desktop app
(developed in-house) but have to get out of the app, start IDL, and
then run a script. This happens several times during a test. What I'd
like to do is to have our testing app call an IDL API and run the
script "in the background" while the test engineer did something else.
However, I don't know if this can even be done. Most of the
documentation that I've been reading addresses calling an external
program from within IDL - I want to do the opposite.
Does anyone have any experience doing this? Just point me in the right
direction if you can.
Thank you.
