[VB] Start a application from another application on NT

[jayderk]

Hello All,

I am trying to find call other then ShellExecute() that opens and runs applications on an NT box. Any suggestions.


regards,
Jay

What exactly are you looking for (Or: what is wrong with shellexecute)? Could
winexec work for you?

Private Declare Function WinExec Lib "kernel32" ( _
                ByVal lpCmdLine As String _
              , ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    'KPD-Team 1998
    'URL: http://www.allapi.net/
    'E-Mail: KPDTeam@Allapi.net
    'Execute explorer.exe
    WinExec "Explorer.exe c:\", 10
End Sub

shellExecute() opens internet explorer on Win98/Win2K/WinXP with this call
rc = ShellExecute(App.hInstance, "open", url, vbNullString, "C:\", _
SW_SHOWNORMAL)

it does not work seem to be working with Windows NT.
