Passing Values to EXEs

[Sujatha]

Hi All,
I am using Visual Basic 6.0 (SP3). I have created two Standard EXE projects. I want one exe is called by another one. While calling i have to pass a value to the second exe which is being called. How can i pass the value from one exe to another exe? Thanks for any help.

If using standard exe's, you could pass the data in a command line.

Sub RunOtherApp()
    Dim sSendSomeData           As String

    sSendSomeData = "Here it is"
    Shell "SecondApp.exe " & sSendSomeData
End Sub

Then in the second app to get the data

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim sGotSomeData            As String

    sGotSomeData = Command$
End Sub

Hi,

use command line parameters.

Call of other exe:

shell "myprog.exe parameters"

Get parameters in called EXE:

strParameterString = Command$

Or you could always write to a file with one program and have the other read the information.

OR use the Registry

Or send messages

Or use DDE
