Then you need to convert it to a DLL, or a COM server.

I am with Richard - He forgot to mention that you could also make it a static library (*.lib). In other news: A Java backend, Windows Service or RESTful API would probably do the job, too - You get the idea.

thanks for your reply.. if i dont want to use the DLL or COM as well as the EXE, is there is any other way to execute the application??? as we know that application will open by calling the "CreateWindow" and "ShowWindow" function. can we call such function from another application??????????

Short answer: No. Longer answer: You can use the CreateProcess[^] function, but that seems not to be what you want. Perhaps you could explain in better detail exactly what you are trying to do.

A single question mark is sufficient.

No, I deliberately did not mention it since very few people seem to understand that such a thing exists, even though in practically every case, it would be more efficient than a DLL.

Alright, I didn't want to accuse you of anything wrong - I think it is easier to use, and, in most cases it is faster.

You didn't; I was just explaining why I only suggested a DLL - but I may also suggest .LIB in future. ;)

I am using VC++/C++ in my product, in which i want to add one functionality (Picture Viewer). Which I got from NET, shown in the following link. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5065/Thumbnails-viewer-and-image-processing-using-GDI-a Now I want to add this functionality in my product (simply when user clicks the button).

Then you need to take the source code from the article and modify it to your needs.
