Hi world, Does the
ShellExecutefunction works in a console application? The first argument of theShellExecutefunction is the Handle to a parent window... but a consol application doesn't have window handle!!! I only want a solution for running an application (exe with argument) in a console application!? What's the simplest solution? Hello World!!! :) from Raphaël -

While a console has now window you can do one of two things: 1) pass NULL, 2) pass the result of ::GetDesktopWindow(). The only thing that HWND is for is act as the parent window for any other windows that come up as result of your execution. If what you are executing has no windows it doesn't matter all. If it does they will just be directed to the desktop. Hope that helps.

Hello World!!! :) from RaphaëlI am not sure how correct this is, but when I don't have my own window I often use GetDesktopWindow().
