I am wondering if a function call exists which allows me to be able to run another executable. Something like: Run("c:/test.exe")
Thanks,

ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "test.exe", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);
if you want it in managed C++ ( C++/CLI ), his is the wrong forum.

Thanks for the function call.
I know that this is not the managed c++ forum, but there is almost no activity in the managed forum, and I have seen that there are alot of managed questions in this forum which are answered. Please correct me if I am wrong about this.
Respectfully,
Bob X

your kidding, aren't you ?
the MC++ forum is still alive... the fact is that people only answer when there is a question :p
and for your information, what i gave you is UNmanaged C++, so you won't be able to do anything with it in your .net code...

I have posted the question in the managed forum now, and will see if I get an answer. It seems the forum is dead though when there is an average of only 1 question a day, and you have to go back several days to get a question which has been answered.

Yes, I have done that before :gasp: and I did get an answer to my question, but it created a large mess and flame war...

actually, i told him in my answer that he was in the wrong forum, but i answered anyway, because we often see people asking for something.net refering to the product version instead of the framework, so i thought it could be asking a solution that compiles under VC++2003

Both ShellExecute() and CreateProcess() can be used with managed code. For example:
[DllImport("shell32.dll")]
extern "C" int _cdecl ShellExecute(int hwnd, String *strVerb, String *strFileName, String *strParameters, String *strDirectory, int nShowCmd);
...
ShellExecute(0, S"Open", S"c:\\test.exe", String::Empty, String::Empty, 1);

Thanks, have not seen that article before...
Although, that code is in Win32Api, not C++.Net right?
|
|
|
|
|
the article is targetted for VC6, so, no .NET framework at that time.
but yes, these are Win32/MFC samples.

Hi Folks.
I Have a program that is imlepmented as a Windows NT service.
It is a generic service that has multiple instances under different names.
The internal logic is based on the name of the service as installed:
NAME1 will work with files in folder $\NAME1, NAME2 will work with $\NAME2 etc..
As the service starts - how can I find out the name of the service
currently being started.
Thanks
Hillel

The name of the service, or the name of the EXE?

Actually - may have interset in both

For the name of the service, it is passed as an argument to ServiceMain(). For the name of the EXE, it has already been answered.

When i apply font to my listcontrol view the font of the text doesnt change, however only the height of the row changes,
how can i change the font of the text in a listcontrol view
i use following command
LOGFONT lf;
CFont ListControlViewFont;
CFont *pFont = m_LogList->GetFont() ;// GetFont();
pFont->GetLogFont(&lf);
CFontDialog dlg(&lf);
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
dlg.GetCurrentFont(&lf);
ListControlViewFont.DeleteObject();
ListControlViewFont.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
m_LogList->SetFont(&ListControlViewFont,TRUE);
}
i have tried all ups and down, by not using font dlg, and creating font manual, but nothing works, only row height changes, am i missing something,
Thanks in advance

If that is a local scope variable that is destructed after you call m_LogList->SetFont() that will not work. The font needs to stay in scope since you are passing a pointer to it.

Thanks a lot, That was the problem, because of the local scope the pointer becomes invalid once the function exits.
Once again many Thanks 
take care
