I recently downloaded your process.vcx class. I have a freeware zip.exe which is a DOS executable that I want to run without the DOS window popping up.
In VFP6.0 SP3 I can run the program with the line RUN zip.exe -@ atest.zip < atest.txt
The systax is zip In this case the -@ means to take the source from stdin and, using the DOS piping symbol, the stdin is a text file with a list of the files to be zipped.
I created a small prg to test out the process class.
Since I could not get it to run I finally backed off to the simplest executable statement which is "zip -h" which should just popup the help text.
All text, program, and class files are in the current directory. The program as I have it at present is:
SET CLASSLIB TO process oProcess = CREATEOBJ('API_APPRUN','zip.exe -h',,'NOR') oProcess.LaunchApp() ? oProcess.KillProc() oProcess = ''
Nothing happens. In some configurations ('zip.exe atest.zip atest.dbf' for example) I get a DOS window that just waits for keyboard entry. In other configurations I get a Fatal Exception Error)
Can you tell from my sample code what I might be doing wrong?
