Is it possible?

Hi

I have a question:

Is it possible to give an instruction

of ams to c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe?

[Intrigued]

Here is one way...

You could create a small .bat (Batch file) that will do what you need. Open the .bat with say Notepad to see how to start the program you want started, for example).

The code is in the On Show as far as AMS code goes.

Believe it or not, this works as well -

File.Run("cmd", "", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, false);

[TJ_Tigger]

File.Run("cmd", "/k \"ipconfig\"", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, false);

This works too

Down ... to get more of a grasp on some of the cmd.exe directives,
at a command prompt type cmd.exe /?

or cmd.exe /? > %temp%\cmdcomms.txt , one way to dump the directives for later refereal to your Temp Folder

hth a little

Thanks!

And how can I give an instruction when cmd.exe already is open?

Remember folks:

cmd.exe for Windows running NTFS

command.com for Windows running FAT32

If you are running Windows XP (2k) and have your primary partion set for C:\, then try this code in AMS (On Show of Page1 in a blank project):

File.Run("cmd", "/k ipconfig \&\& \"C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\calc.exe\" \&\& \"C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\desk.cpl\"", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, false);

Notice how the last dialog shows AFTER you close the calc.exe window.

Hmmm...
