Need some help with very basic small program...

[Redth]

Hello..

I'm not a c++ coder... not yet, and not for awhile...

I created a multiplayer matching system in visual basic, and it works very nice... it is basically like a gamespy arcade, but for only one game, motocross mania..

anyways... i have a small program that launches a host multiplayer game (the server) that i have the source c++ code to... it's in visual c++ project format, and i've looked at it for a good 30 minutes and can't figure out what i need to change...

what i want to do is this.... right now, the program pops up, makes you enter a name, a name for your game (server) and choose that you want to host a game, then click launch.... i don't want this... i want this program to be automated... i want to shell this program from my program, passing on the name and game name to this program's commandline which would then execute in the background, launch motocross mania, and close itself without ever being seen by the user...


as you can see in the picture i have posted, there are textboxes and a radio button and a launch game button...

so again what i want to do is get rid of those boxes and button, and pass the information that should be in the boxes to the program on the commandline... this way this program would run itself and close itself after it launches the game....

understand???

now, i'm going to be very humble here in asking someone to do this for me... i normally like to learn things on my own, but this is a bit much for me...

-edit-
note forgot... i can join existing multiplayer server games already by simple passing the ip to the commandline of the game executable already... so you may be wondering about the radio button of join and host... well, i don't need it to be able to join a game... just to host one
-/edit-

could someone please give me some help? you can contact me on icq: 22921863, msn- [email protected] , aim - RRRedth , or yahoo - Redth_JonDick .... also you can email me at [email protected] .... or if you want to drop a line on this thread, i'll come asking for you ...

i would REALLY appreciate it, and will defenitley give you a spot in the credits of this program ... thanks so much...

Do you know if the C++ program is made using MFC? Given the sourcecode it sounds like a relatively simple task. The only problem is that I have little experience with using MFC...
