The simplest way is to use ShellExecute().
ShellExecute(NULL, NULL, _T("myprog.exe"), NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);Look at the docs on ShellExecute() to find out what the parameters do and how to use them. To find out whether it is successful or not, ShellExecute() returns a value >32 if it is successful, and <=32 if it is not.
Hope this helps,
Ryan

You want to call the F4 button? I'm not sure what you mean... You can kill the process using the TerminateProcess function (you got the handle from CreateProcess). If you want to simulate a press to F4 you can use the SendInput or keybd_event functions.
-Dominik
_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??

Yep, i can call the .exe now when i press a button in my app. What i like to do is to simulate the pressing of F4 after this.
Because this starts a macro in the opened .exe.
I cannot understand the help for these functions you gave me and do not know which code to use for F4(Hardwareadress, number..???)
Do u have a code snip?
Thanks, Mark

SendMessage(wndOfStartedApp, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_F4, 0);
The first parameter is the HWND of the app you just started.
Instead of WM_KEYDOWN you might also try WM_KEYUP.

mmh, i use NULL for HWND when i start the app. Nothing happens..
Thanks, Mark
|
|
|
|

It is normal:
the HWND defines which window will receive the message, then if you send the KeyPress to a null window...
you should start your app, then find the window of that app and after that send the message there...
I think that you can also do it better, and in order to do so, you should take a look at CreateProcess(...).
hope this helps.

|
|
|

But how can i find the window of that app? It is a commercial one. By the way i think i have to wait till the app is up before i send the message there?
Thanks, Mark

If you launch it by using the CreateProcess api, one of the parameters is a PROCESS_INFORMATION structure. This gets filled in with the THREAD HANDLE of the primary thread for the newly lauched app. After the CreateProcess call returns, wait for the app to initialize by calling WaitForInputIdle(). When this returns, then you should be able to simulate a keystroke with the PostThreadMessage api, passing the new app's main thread handle as the parameter.
Good Luck!
onwards and upwards...

Hi.
Does anyone know if there is a DirectX application wizard for use with the VC++ .NET version.
I am looking for something similar to the app wizard that is available for use under VC++ 6 ?.
Thanks.

;PDear All,
Is there any API which may simulate Deltree command.
I am developing a application for Windows 2000/NT/XP in which i want to remove all contents of a given folder .
Or any alternate way to achieve the same ?
Thanks

Yes. You'll have to recursively go through the folders, delete each file, and then finally delete the folder. Of course, if a folder contains subfolders, then you'll need to go through that folder and delete all the files and subfolders in it etc., hence the recurson.

I thought of that, but does SHFileOperation() do a recursive delete on an nonempty folder?

Hi !
Your question is not clear... Is this an Installshield question ? I do not understand what you mean with I have Launch Conditions in place that determine if the resgistry entry is there but how to I get the folder to install in the path indicated in the registry entry?. In Installshield, I seem to remember that you can use VB registry commands to achieve that.
What I suggest you is to use Innosetup, since it will take you approximatively 5 minutes to achieve that

I created a SetupProject through Visual Studio .NET 2003 so it's INstallShield based.

I want to make the combobox with bitmap list.
Instead of using "AddString" function,
how can I make the list with bitmap.
|
|
|
|

You'll have to use an owner-draw combo box (set the CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED or CBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE style).
This[^] article describes exactly this.

Code:
m_list.Create(IDB_BITMAP1,40,10,RGB(255,255,255));
//m_list is CImageList type member variable
m_Lang.SetImageList(&m_list);
//m_Lang is combobox control member variable
Umm... I'm very poor at visual c++.
I wrote those two lines for getting bitmap list.
But the bitmap image is not appeared.
How can I do?

I assume you're using CComboBoxEx because CComboBox does not have a SetImageList() function.
Have you associated an image with each item?
COMBOBOXEXITEM cbItem;
cbItem.mask = CBIF_IMAGE;
cbItem.iItem = nItem;
cbItem.iImage = nImageIndex;
m_Lang.SetItem(&cbItem);

A sentence is like below:
lpwndpos->flags &= ~SWP_SHOWWINDOW;
What is the meaning of "&"?
Thanks

|
|
|

Is it has the same meaning as below?
lpwndpos->flags = &(~SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
