Dear all,
>From my VB application I'd like to launch MapInfo Professional via a menu
item, and/or a toolbar. The problem I have is that my application when
running isn't going to know where MapInfo has been installed on the machine,
if at all. Can anybody please tell me how I can determine whether MapInfo
Pro. has been installed on a machine, and if so, how to launch it?.
I've already tried the following code, which apparently works for launching
"Excel", but it didn't work for MapInfo;
Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As
String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Private Sub cmdLaunchMapInfo_Click()
Dim ReturnedStatus As Long
'Launch MapInfo
ReturnedStatus = ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, vbNull, "Mapinfo", vbNull, vbNull,
1)
End Sub
Thanks,
