Run exe form a button

[Betsie]

I would like to know how to open or run an exe file from a C++ form.

this will execute your .exe.


void __fastcall TForm1::Button1OnClick(TObject * Sender)
{

const char * WinShut = "C:\\MyDir\\MyDir\\MyApp.exe";


//selects the program and how to use it
SHELLEXECUTEINFO exeinfo;
memset(&exeinfo, 0, sizeof(exeinfo));
exeinfo.cbSize = sizeof(exeinfo);
exeinfo.lpVerb = "open";
exeinfo.lpFile = WinShut;
exeinfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
exeinfo.nShow = SW_SHOWDEFAULT;

if (!ShellExecuteEx(&exeinfo))
{
MessageDlg(&quot;Could not open: Win.exe&quot;, mtError, TMsgDlgButtons() << mbOK,0);
return;
}
} Cyprus
