Weel ok...
I was talking about a general tool..

For example for cobol... For Microfocus one could use its own dev tools..
For MS Cobol i don't know...


Anyway...

I've faced a problem lately...
I've tried to call different applications from a main application launcher.
It doesn't matter if these application ara "apps" or "exes".
These applications replace the menu with their own, and then wait the user to select menu items...

When they are executed on their own (not from the applauncher) they operate normally... The menu is created and then Read Events is executed...

When they are executed from the applauncher (with Do XXX.app or Do XXX.exe) then the execution doesn't stop at the Read Events line.. and the program flow returns back to the applauncher.

I ' ve tried to issue a Clear Events before calling the application but it doesn't work either...

I 've also tried some other methods... but till now nothing has worked...
The only "solution" i have come up with so far, is to launch the called application through the winexec api funtion, and terminate the applauncher by issuing a quit command... And after the called application has finished i would use the same technique to run again the applauncher...

I would like the called applications to run in the same vfp instance and not in a new...


Ok... bye...
