Aren't these essential core commands in any language?

We don't have them in Danish, and we get along just fine without :)

What does CreateProcess do?

ExecFile is definitely needed.


Beaker(Posted 2005) [#3]
CreateProcess() runs a file or program and keeps a handle on it to gather any returned data or output.

CreateProcess() will be supported in the next release.


Beaker(Posted 2005) [#5]
Great news. Will we be able to emulate ExecFile() with it?

Now all we need is CreateThread(Function Ptr) =]

I wasn't prepared to back that up with any evidence.

(Both jokes, however bad ;))

This runs the file as if clicked with mouse on folder..

Exactly what I was looking for
