A slight modification of Benoits answer. You can create an event in the parent process and wait for that event with WaitForSingleObject. This event can then be signaled by the child through a call to SetEvent.

It's important that the child process will inherit all inheritable handles, so CreateProcess has to have the fifth parameter set to true (bInheritHandles).
This way the child process doesn't have to exit for you to check that the file has been written.
回答2:
The PROCESS_INFORMATION structure (which is the last argument to CreateProcess) contains member hProcess. This is a handle to the new process, which you can wait on using WaitForSingleObject.
回答3:
If your child will exit after file creation you can use ::WaitForSingleObject using the process handle returned by ::CreateProcess.
