Q: 

iTunes SDK COM - Notification that iTunes has been started

I'm currently developing an application which uses the iTunes COM (Win32) to hook into the iTunes application.

At the moment, I have managed to unhook the COM when iTunes closes through the use of the OnQuittingEvent which is great, iTunes doesn't display the application interface dialog so everything is good.

My problem arises when I re-open iTunes. It seems that it doesn't send the onCOMCallsEnabledEvent that I would expect - iTunes is starting, so surely the COM calls would be enabled. So my question is, does anyone know of any notifications that iTunes sends when it's started?

Thanks, -James

A: 

Ok, so my best bet is just to keep waiting to see if the iTunes process is back again. Solved.
