| Crypticflare | I ran across this question the other day, this user asked I know this is a simple question, but I can't find anyone who knows it, how do you run an external EXE from source code? For instance my app is VBApp.exe and I want to run OtherApp.exe, in VBApp.exe I put a button, if I click that button I want OtherApp.exe to run, how do I go about doing that? Since I lack the knowlege or probably know how to do it, but not know how to put it on code, could one of the VB gurus help :p | February 9, 2003, 3:05 PM |
| Eibro | I'm guessing you do it the same way you do it in C/C++ with Win32... Either CreateProcess() or the easier (yet depricated) WinExec() Look them up on MSDN | February 9, 2003, 3:13 PM |
