Run external executable file in C++

[wael_r]

Please any one know how to run an external application in c++ Windows Forms

You can use either ShellExecute() or CreateProcess(). Advantage of CreateProcess() function is your program can wait till another application you have launched is not finished/terminated. Thanks Vikas

Hi, read up on the Process class. Simple stuff can be handled in a Process.Start() statement; more complexe requirements need details stored in a ProcessStartInfo objects first. :)
