Yes. CreateProcess is it.
This routine is handy (from the web somewhere):
function WinExecAndWait32(Path: PChar; Visibility: Word; Timeout: DWORD): integer;
var
WaitResult: integer;
StartupInfo: TStartupInfo;
ProcessInfo: TProcessInformation;
begin
FillChar(StartupInfo, SizeOf(TStartupInfo), 0);
with StartupInfo do
begin
cb := SizeOf(TStartupInfo);
dwFlags := STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW or STARTF_FORCEONFEEDBACK;
{ you could pass sw_show or sw_hide as parameter: }
wShowWindow := visibility;
end;
if CreateProcess(nil, path, nil, nil, False,
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, nil, nil,
StartupInfo, ProcessInfo) then
begin
WaitResult := WaitForSingleObject(ProcessInfo.hProcess, timeout);
{ timeout is in miliseconds or INFINITE if
you want to wait forever }
result := WaitResult;
end
else
{ error occurs during CreateProcess see help for details }
result := GetLastError;
end;
