I have use this.
procedure RunAProgram(CmmdRun: string);
var
pi : TProcessInformation;
si : TStartupInfo;
begin
with si do begin
cb := SizeOf(si);
lpReserved := nil;
lpDesktop := nil;
lpTitle := nil;
dwFlags := 0;
wShowWindow := SW_normal;
cbReserved2 := 0;
lpReserved2 := nil;
end;
CreateProcess(nil, PChar(cmmdRun), nil, nil, FALSE, 0, nil, nil, si, pi);
end;
then call
Runaprogram('MyProgram.exe');
you can change the wShowWindow to either show the running app of to hide
it (SW_HIDE);
