run specified application.

Hello,

Can anyone can tell me how can i run a program outside
my application optional parameters and please give
example.

thanks.

You can use the Shell function that is part of VB.
Shell will only launch executable files, but you may add parameters along with it.

Code:

---

Shell "C:\MyProgram\Program.exe '/a /b /parameters

'You can also have it return a TaskID
RetVal = Shell("C:\MyProgram\Program.exe /a /b /parameters", vbNormalFocus)

Shell "Notepad.exe C:\MyFile.txt", 1

---

Or you can use the ShellExecute API function which will load any file with it's default application.

Code:

---

Private Declare Function ShellExecute _
Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As _
Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1

Usage

ShellExecute Me.hwnd, vbNullString, "C:\txtfile.txt", _
vbNullString, "c:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
