Hello community! I have a little program that I run with another (already existent) program, which I do not have source code to.
I just want to run both programs with one click, so I wonder if there is a command I can add at the top of the main file? Something like:
int main(){
run("game.exe");
... //more code here
if you get my drift.
OK I got it to work with shellexecute BUT I can only open the exe if I have them both in the same folder.
HWND m_hWnd;
ShellExecute(m_hWnd,"open","game.exe","", "", SW_SHOW);
//that works but only if they are both in same folder.
If I provide another directory like:
ShellExecute(m_hWnd,"open","C:\\Program Files\myproj\game.exe","", "", SW_SHOW);
(it is the right directory) it won't work...

Do you mean like a batch file?
The batch command start could help you.
On an console, type help start

Shellexecute() or CreateProcess()

Can you make a project with c++ if yes simply use of Shellexecute /ShellexecuteEx /CreateProcess

You need to escape all backslashes in string literals - your path to game.exe doesn't do that.

try this
ShellExecute(m_hWnd,"open","C:\\Program Files\\myproj\\game.exe","", "", SW_SHOW);

Hello Comunity,
i have an simple SaveAs dialog in my project to save some information in to files!
Ok,but i need some extra controls on this one,
is there any way to modify this standard SaveAs dialog?
E.g. add some new controls to this, button , checkbox, listbox etc.?
Thanks for any help!
regards

Have you tried adding the control is the hook function? It's just a taad more complicated than creating your own (that resembles the standard one).

Hello,
thanx for answer, no, i dont try nothing with hooks, that because i never do something with hooks,
but i hear about hook function, maybe i can find som instructions how to use hook functions?
regards

Yes - you do this by creating a new dialog template and placing your new controls around special control/identifiers (stc1, stc2, etc.) that represent the standard controls on the interface.
Look up "Open and Save As Dialog Box Customization" in MSDN for more information.

Ah you are right, I was sure he once wrote an article on it. Looking at the title, I just snatched(mistakenly) it. Oops, wait a min, I'll update the clickety.

I have the following code :
class Test
{
public:
static const foo = 1;
static const bar = 2;
};
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
cout << Test::foo << endl << Test::bar << endl;
return 0;
}
- and absolutely no idea why it is working. I left the type declaration by accident and realized later that it shouldn't work - at least in my book. But it does. Can anyone explain that to me ? Is there some kind of default data-type for such situations ? If so, what is it ?

If you mean why does this get treated like a const int, that is because that is exactly what you created when you typed const foo.
I believe that int is treated as the default type in a scenaro like this, which is why you sometimes see code like unsigned uiABC = 0 to create an unsigned int variable.
Peace!

I wonder if it would be treated as a QWORD on a 64-bit machine
|
|

|

Not if they keep the width of the int type at 32-bits... But I do not have a 64-bit environment handy...

Probably.
int data type is environment specific which means that it's 16 bits wide in a compiler for 16-bit systems, e.g. the C-compiler for MicroChip PIC 18[^].
This is the standard, but a complier might not follow the standard.

but the AMD 64-bit[^] docs specify that an int remains 32-bits in size. So I guess it really depends on how the compiler decides to interpret the code.

Yep, very true.
