Hi,
I am trying to use ShellExecute function to invoke the ax program.
The code below works perfect:
ShellExecute(0& , "open", "ax.exe", "C:\2runtemp2.r un", "C:\axfolde r", 5)
The code below does NOT work:
ShellExecute(0& , "open", "ax.exe", "C:\Documen ts and Settings\jon\De sktop\requiredf iles\2runtemp2. run", "C:\axfolde r", 5)
Because of some design issues, the arguement "must" have spaces in its full path. Even though I write the path in double quotations, I can not prevent this error.
Any help on the error is much appreciated. Thanks,
jon

ShellExecute(0& , "open", "ax.exe", """C:\Docum ents and Settings\jon\De sktop\requiredf iles\2runtemp2. run""", "C:\axfolde r", 5)
ShellExecute(0& , "open", "ax.exe", """C:\Docum ents and Settings\jon\De sktop\requiredf iles\2runtemp2. run""", "C:\axfolde r", 5)
-
-
Dim strPath
-
Dim retval
-
strPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\jon\Desktop\requiredfiles\2runtemp2.run"
-
retval = ShellExecute(0&, "open", "ax.exe", Chr(34) & strPath & Chr(34), "C:\axfolder", 5)
-
may not need the chr(34)...not sure
The code below does NOT work:
ShellExecute(0& , "open", "ax.exe", "C:\Documen ts and Settings\jon\De sktop\requiredf iles\2runtemp2. run", "C:\axfolde r", 5)
Not sure if this would work .... try using the "short" folder name, ie, "C:\Docume~ 1\" instead of "C:\Documen ts and Settings\" .... ???

Dear Guru,
From Dos Command, I can execute like C:\Converter TextFile.txt or
C:\Converter D:\TextFile.txt
I wrote an application (using VC++) to call a dos command, where
sztxtBuffer1 is the select / browse text file, and Converter.exe is located
at the same directory/ folder with this application.
I tested that the following is not working well.

Hello,
I'm not sure if these are the appropriate forums for my question since
it is closer to about Visual Studio 2005 than it is about .NET

this loooong case and/or for your input.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
