Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2005 and Win 2k3 and I have made a command "del /S /Q /f c:\\testfolder", and want to execute it through CreateProcess, i get the error The system can't find the file specified i.e. "Del" exe, I usually use Del from command prompt, and in command prompt it works fine, any help regarding that.
Warm Regards,
Mushq

try:
system("del /S /Q /f c:\\testfolder");

I couldn't understand from that, what is system, is it a command??

system() is a native function from the C runtime, but deprecated. as i said previously, you should prefer using ShellExecute() instead

Uh! and who deprecates it?

as bad doesn't mean evil . On the other hand, being forbidden would be irresistible, at least to me...

system() is very antiquated, and CreateProcess() IMO shouldn't be used when an equivalent API exists. Why are you not using SHFileOperation() with FO_DELETE?

Why? Isn't CreateProcess that fancy?

Another question would be: is
C:\Testfolder really a file, or is it a folder.
If I recall correctly (and it's been years since I looked) del will not delete folders - you would need to use rd instead (remove directory) and the folder would have to be empty. Of course you could empty the folder with
"del /S /Q /f c:\\testfolder\*.*"
Hope that helps.

The current program I'm working on has a requirement for the GUI and functionality code to be in seperate classes. So far I've managed to split this functionality up however I now need to add messaging into it so that when the user clicks a button on the GUI the functionality class is informed and performs the appropriate action.
I've found the following example on this site, http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/messagehandling3.asp, however it doesn't quite cover what I need.
Can anyone supply code snippets or links to articles which cover this?
cheers,

What do you need to do beyond calling a function/method in response to the appropriate window
messages?

hi, thanks for your reply, I originally did put set/get methods in however I've now been told to completely seperate my functionality and gui classes so windows messaging seems to be one possibly solution to this (see my reply to my main question for a *hopefully* clearer explination)
Andy,

There's no way to completely separate them. You still have to make a call to the functionality
class method from the message handler so they are still tied to each other.
