How can i Build VC++ application through VB 6.0

HI Guys,
I am calling a DLL developed in VC++ through V.B 6.0.its working.. no problem with it. Now the problem is... some times, i have to change my header file in VC++, so at this time , i have to build the VC++ application again.
Can i build it programatically with v.b 6.0? if so kindly let me know how to do it?

Thanks:

No. Any changes you make must be made through Visual C++ then rebuilt, and redistributed.

You could make an auto-downloader though that would alert the user of an update and download the file.

What about a commandline shelling of the vc++ compilier passing the project name and appropriate switches.

Hi RobDog888,

i have not tried the shell execute. i will try this also. i think, through this we can execute the exe file only.. but here the requirement is to build the vc++ application, after changing the header file's content....
any how, i will look into it once again...
thanks

You can pass many different arguments to vc++. Such as the project and compile switch etc.

Just do a /? after the entire path to vc++ typed into the run dialog box. It will msgbox the args.

Re: How can i Build VC++ application through VB 6.0

As I mentioned you can get a msgbox popup from the Run dialog box off of the start menu just to determine what switches are available to you.

Open the run box (Start button > Run menu item)
Enter in the path to your install of VC++ file.
Add the " /?" to the end of the file path.
Press the Enter key.

Hi Rob,
i did like that, but a pop up message "can't find ...." is coming, since it can't find the mentioned path.

Then you entered in an invalid path. Use Explorer to navigate to your VC++ install location and copy the path from the address bar and append the vc++ executable name to it and then the /?
