Can you help me with my problem? -T 1

Can you help me with my problem? -There is a C function that allows C to call another executeable as if from a command line prompt eg.

system("c:\type c:\autoexec.bat"

In C++ this will open a Dos window and type the autoexec. Note however that this doesn't work for windows .exe files.

Question? how can I get C++ to call another windows application in the same way as if I click on an icon or go to the Start menu click on run and type in Excel. (which in this instance will start up Excel) - You can contact me at Andrew.Carmichael@polkadotuk.demon.co.uk

WinExec([string path],SW_SHOWDEFAULT);
is like clicking an icon

ShellExecute(...); is a little bit more powerful but isn't always necessary. Hope that helped. MYenigmaSELF:-9
