Hi GRS, About the ShellExecute,
I would suggest to check the web site below. Also go through the short help snippet below: http://www.latiumsoftware.com/en/delphi/00002.php function declared in the ShellAPI unit. The syntax is: ShellExecute(Handle, Operation, FileName, Params, Folder, ShowCmd) Handle (HWND) is the window handle of the parent window, for instance the window handle of the main form of our application. Operation (PChar) is a pointer to a null terminated string that contains the name of the operation to perform, which can be 'edit' (launches an editor and opens the document for editing), 'explore' (explores the specified directory), 'find' (opens the find window starting from the specified directory), 'open' (executes or opens the file with the associated application), 'print' (printes the specified file) or 'properties' (displays the file or folder's properties). This parameter can also be nil and in this case 'open' will be assumed. FileName (PChar) is a pointer to a null terminated string that contains the path and the name of the application to execute, the document to open or print with its associated application, or the folder to open or explore. Params (PChar) is a pointer to a null terminated string that contains the parameters that will be passed to application specified in FileName. If FileName doesn't indicate an executable file but a document, then Params should be nil. Folder (PChar) is a pointer to a null terminated string that contains the path that will be taken as the application's folder by default. This parameter can be nil. ShowCmd (Integer) indicates the way the application specified in FileName will be shown. There are various possible values: SW_HIDE SW_RESTORE SW_SHOW SW_SHOWNA SW_SHOWNORMAL SW_SHOWDEFAULT SW_MAXIMIZE SW_MINIMIZE SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED SW_SHOWMINIMIZED SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE Regards, Abhijeet Patil. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Send Delphi mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Delphi digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
