Hi All,
I used to be able to open WordNet 2.0 with the following ShellExecute:
ShellExecute( 0,'open',
'"C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.0\bin\wishwn.exe/"',
'"C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.0\bin\wnb"',
nil, SW_HIDE);
but now with WordNet 2.1, it doesn't work. The old WordNet 2.0 shortcut
target location was shown in the properties box as:
"C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.0\bin\wishwn.exe" "C:\Program
Files\WordNet\2.0\bin\wnb"
But the new WordNet 2.1 shortcut target location is grayed and disabled, and
just
a symbolic entry is given as:
WordNet 2.1
which is clearly not amenable to putting into a ShellExecute.
Looking into the new directory "c:/program files/wordnet/2.1/bin/" there
are
only the executables:
wn.exe
wnb.exe
So wishwn.exe doesn't even exist anymore. When I click directly on the
wnb.exe
file from Win Explorer, it runs properly. So I changed the ShellExecute to
ShellExecute( 0,'open',
'"C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.1\bin\wn.exe"',
'"C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.0\bin\wnb"',
nil, SW_HIDE );
Which does nothing I can see. I click on a button to execute the
ShellExecute
and nothing happens.
When I changed the SW_HIDE to SW_SHOW, I get a very fast flash of a DOS
box, but nothing else.
When I change the execute to:
else ShellExecute( 0,'open',
'"C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.1\bin\wnb.exe"',
'"C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.1\bin\"',
nil, SW_SHOW );
I get an error box with the comment:
"couldn't read file "wnb.tcl"; no such file or directory.
But the file "wnb.tcl" is there in the same directory as the executable,
i.e. in:
"C:\Program Files\WordNet\2.1\bin\"
Does anyone know how to figure out a ShellExecute command to get
that program going?
Thanks,
Rich
