External program launch issue
-
Hi, I tried several things to launch an external program :
CString command("\"D:\\USER\\PSPad editor\\PSPad.exe\" \"log.txt\""); system(command);The above code launches a command prompt that closes instantly and doesn't launch PSPad.CString command("cmd /C \"D:\\USER\\PSPad editor\\PSPad.exe\" \"log.txt\""); system(command);The above code launches a command prompt that launches PSPad but the calling dialog looses focus until I close PSPad. Actually I'd like to launch my program just like double clicking on "log.txt" would do (without a command prompt would be great). Is it possible ? Thanks ! -

Use
ShellExecute(...)orCreateProcess(...)API's for launching external application's Knock out 't' from can't, You can if you think you can :cool: -
