Execute Program without waiting for termination

[balaclavabob]

I need to execute 2 programs from within a program I am writing. I tried system() and winexec(). It would execute the first program and stop. It wouldn't execute the second program till I closed the first program.

Try CreateProcess()

yes, I'm sure CreateProcess() is the right solution. Zxczc

Why not simple ::SellExecute()? Try this...

::ShellExecute(NULL, _T("open"), _T("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe"), _T(""), _T(""), SW_SHOW);

Hope this helps. - tareq
