Shell execute vs. Create Process
-
I'm attempting to run the ctlpnl.exe application on a pocket pc device. I want to use it to load up some of the control panel settings applets so I can have my users change the device's time ect. I have been struggling with calling the application through createprocess. Is it possible to call the shellexecute method on a pocketpc device? Any particular reason for using one over the other? Thanks, Ryan

I am using the ShellExecuteEx method in some of my Pocket PC applications, so it should be no problem! For more information take a look at: QA: How can I open the default mail or browser program when the user clicks on an URL? PS: The only nice thing about using CreateProcess is that you can wait until the running application is terminated, or for a specified timeout!
