Accessing a VB Active EXE from Visual C++ DLL

[John Guilbert]

Hi,

I am trying to access a VB Active EXE from my C++ Win32 DLL. I can
access a VB DLL from this C++ and hence I built a VB DLL interface to
allow the two to communicate. But....I want to access the Active EXE
DIRECTLY from my C++ DLL.

Can anyone help by providing a quick example or give me a link to the
solution.

Thanks,

John Guilbert.

use std::system.

#include <cstdlib>

int main() {
std::system("dir.exe");
return 0;
}

Frank,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm actually trying to access the FUNCTIONS of this VB Active EXE from
C++, not execute it. Do you know the code for that.

Thanks,

That's system-specific and therefore OT in comp.lang.c++
