c++

[nnnkkk]

Hello.
I would like to advise how can i get ip address on my pc
and copy it to Form2->label2.
For example Im trying to show in my program,informations of internet connection speed,ip adsress... Im thinking about something like :
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
Form2->ShowModal();
ShellExecute(Handle,"open","C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe",0,0,SW_SHOW);
that should be 1st step,then can i make somehow automatic command in my c++ program as ipconfig/all -> in the cmd i should see all of the required information.
Any idea how to do it ?
Im doing c++ about 4 mounts so i can say Im very new..
Thanks

This isn't a trivial program. To do this you will need to do several steps.

1. Initialize security attributes for the pipe we are going to create;

2. Create a pipe to receive data from the process output and error streams;

3. Configure startup information for the new process;

4. Create the new process;

5. Read and parse text received from the created process and raise events in the GUI;

6. Perform a cleanup when the new process has completed executing.

You've done step 4 but you need to do the other steps. The article I just quoted uses CreateProcess but you can still use ShellExecute with the pipe and security calls.

The article I referenced from C++ Builder Developer's Journal is for subscribers but the cost is worth it.
