Hi everyone,
I have a java program that runs in dos mode. Everytime I need it to do something like open a file, I must type in long dirs commands. Everytime I need to compiled the program I need to type in long commands. As you can imagine, this really is a pain.
Recently to releive some frustrations, I have made a batch file with commmands stored in it. So now I just execute that command when I need it to open a file or compile. It saved me some frustrations but still the problem hasnt been solved.
Another idea I had in mind was to just go buy a java program with easy to use interface such as Borland J-builder but its just too expensive for me from now, since Im still a student.
ANyway, I thought maybe I could make a Gui-interface for it
using Visual basics. This is where I need your expert suggestions. Can, what I proposed here be accomplished?
If so please help out.
Im thinking, I would make a button.(just keeping it simple to show you my idea) Then, insert a code into that button so that when it is pressed, it will execute the java.exe + open file command(this would be the command that I typed to compiled the program in console mode). And do the samething to other functions that the program may have.
Am I staring in the right direction? Please give your suggestions and comments. thankx in advance
