hello :D
I want to create a program that could develop an another program with a specified variable
eg:
I got 2 programs: Tool Builder and myTool
For myTool, is designed a variable called URLpath, that is used for open a url in IE.
So, i open tool builder, write this variable in a text field( for exemple, www.google.com), and then click on COMPILE, so, i'll create the myTool)
When i run mytool, www.google.com will open
...
How can i make this?
:afrog:
If you want to open a specific url then a windows shortcut will do.
If you include a constant in a program then that constant's data will be included in the exe.
You can change it with a hexeditor. String constants should be easy to spot.
If you make an exe that opens some url then your builder program can change a string inside that exe.
Which, BTW, is not compiling. ;)
A better option would be to make mytool.exe accept commandline parameters and create a shortcut with the right parameters.
Or make it read a file with settings.
Why do you want to do this?
i dont want to make a url program, it was just an exemple
:P
I didnt understand how can i make this :/ ( i cant use .ini or commandlines)
Can i change the string Directly by the tool builder?
firstly, how can i create a exe with my App running?
You can't.Quote:

Exactly with you app probobally not, but you can always call the compiler.
It's just one of those things that's not possible.
Commandline parameters given to the program when it was started can called with Command.
It is a string containing the parameters that you can process.
Ini files are just textfiles where you store data.
Then what exactly do you want?VB Code:
It is possible.
Except it's not really making an EXE from scratch, (you would need a compiler). You make 2 EXEs, one that "modifies" the other one, and one that reads from itself.
I wrote an example on here along time ago, it might be what you're looking for.
