Launch executable

BlitzMax Forums/MaxGUI Module/Launch executable

Is the an executable command for Windows system?

What I mean by that, is a way to tell Win System to run an executable.

Have a look to Pub.Freeprocess module: you can start and control a process/program from BlitzMax.

Other ways are:

OpenURL - limited - and based on application registered to the OS (ie: txt file --> open with Notepad, .html --> open with Firefox)

system_ name_of_program it starts a program (but you lost the control on it)

Cheers

thanks. Will look into those.

I can't find this one in the listing anywhere.

TProcess:CreateProcess closes it when the main program terminates, and thats not what I am looking for.
