CreateProcess()

Havent tested this but it should work:

Code: Select all

var
    pi : PROCESS_INFORMATION;
    si : STARTUPINFO;
    strName : array[0..MAX_PATH] of char;
begin
    ZeroMemory(@pi, sizeof(PROCESS_INFORMATION));
    ZeroMemory(@si, sizeof(STARTUPINFO));
    strName := 'C:\\aaa.exe';
    CreateProcess(strName, nil, nil, nil, false, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, nil, nil, si, pi);
    CloseHandle(pi.hProcess);
    CloseHandle(pi.hThread);
end;

There is also another shell command, AFAIK...

I hate Delphi, such a cumbersome language.

yeah, theres "ShellExecute" but CreateProcess gives you far more control over what the process is doing, and information about the process (stored in the PROCESS_INFORMATION struct).

Yeah I hate delphi too... Its an ugly language that tries to hide too much from the programmer. C ftw.
