Raydred does :)

[Raydred]

Yes i do =)

whats up Jereth ? what cha need?

[JerethMiller]

well see I need help...lol...Im curently making an "extremem Lazy" Program and My fscommands arent working...lol...I want it to launch yahoo messenger, hotmail.com, and msn all at the same time...could you help me al littl?

[Raydred]

Sure, you're working with the Flash Active X control right, and defining your FScommands, (i havent messed with Flash in my programs much yet, but i will) ..

and you need help launching programs =)


If this is correct please press the number 1 (hehe jk)..

heres a simple way to execute a program... basically you need to start a thread, you define the path and start the thread, this will launch the program =)

i put it in a method so that you call the method with the path and it starts.



private void runProgram(string inPath)
{

Process prc;
prc= new Process();
prc.StartInfo.FileName = inPath;
//prc.StartInfo.Arguments = arg;
//This is commented out.. but i wanted to show that this is possible.
prc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
// if you want the window minimized just add this
//instread of the windowstyle.normal , ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized;
prc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"c:\";
prc.Start();
prc.WaitForExit();
}



this should work.. now all you have to do to call this a program is this...




runProgram(@"c:\windows\calc.exe");




now the @ before the string means 'The following is a path', or you'd have to escape the "\" like this.. "C:\\windows\\calc.exe"


hope this helps =)
