I am trying to start an other program from my own program. In DOS you
can use EXEC but it is part of the DOS-unit and it is not in the
WINDOS-unit. I am using BP7.0 with Object Windows

Can anybody help me with this problem?

Joe

   In Delphi, we have WinExec and ShellExecute.

   I'm almost sure that you can call the first but not sure for the
second.

   (the ShellExecute function is in ShellAPI unit -in Delphi, of course-)

function WinExec (CmdLine : PChar; CmdShow : Word):Word;

Where CmdLine (PChar Pointer to an ASCIIZ) is an ASCIIZ String with
the name and parameters of the program you wanna run and CmdShow says
the way to execute or load it.
