Hi guys!
I have written a file processing program in c++. when executed, the file reads in a file from disk and then outputs an altered version of it.
The c++ works fine, but we want it to work from inside a VB application. When the command button is clicked, it needs to run the c++ executable file.
I can't find anything in MSDN, and i'm getting desperate!
Thanks
:-)

I'm not a VB coder but I'll assume that it is possable, I however would just make the c++ exe. into a dynamic linked library (dll) and use that instead. It is a lot more functional and less prone to confusion as if you ship with more than one exe.

If you compile the c++ application first and make is a working .exe it is possible. I am a Visual Basic coder myself.

OK Im not a VB guy but I think this is the function xilica is refering to.

Shell(sysPath & "
otepad.exe",_AppWinStyle.NormalFocus,True)

I would still recommend that you use a dll rather then running an external exe.
