how to Call a exe within a C# console application?

[sarathinew]

Hi,

I need to know how to call a exe within a C# console program.

The target exe opens a windows form which has text boxes and check boxes and buttons.

Is there a way to pass the parameters to the text boxes and check boxes and click the button in the form through my C# console application?

Note: I dont have the source code for the target exe. i have the exe alone.

Please help me.

You can use the Process Class to open an exe.

Is there a way to pass the parameters to the text boxes and check boxes and click the button in the form through my C# console application?

Note: I dont have the source code for the target exe. i have the exe alone.

If this exe is not set up to wait signal commands from a port or read from a file or the registry periodically, then you must find the exe's code. Otherwise this is science fiction.

You can *maybe* use some win32 api (like SendKeys) or windows messaging to send keyboard and mouse clicks to the application.
But I don't really know how to do it.

Hi Freinds,
THanks a lot for your replies.
I have finally got it done using the send keys.
