ShellExecuteEx

[raj]

Hi,
I want to execute an Exe file in minimize mode. but when i m trying the
following

SHELLEXECUTEINFO lpExecInfo;
memset(&lpExecInfo, 0, sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO));

lpExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
lpExecInfo.lpFile = _T("\\Program
Files\\Nortel\\DMMVPN3100\\sbipsecGUI.exe");
lpExecInfo.lpParameters = _T("");
lpExecInfo.lpDirectory = _T("");
lpExecInfo.lpVerb = _T("open");
lpExecInfo.nShow = SW_MINIMIZE;
lpExecInfo.fMask = 0;
lpExecInfo.hwnd = this->m_hWnd;
lpExecInfo.hInstApp = AfxGetInstanceHandle();

ShellExecuteEx(&lpExecInfo);

The application starts but in normal/maximize mode. Ane guidence is
appreciable


Thanks in advance
Rajat

This is Windows-specific and off topic here. An appropriate group is

microsoft.public.vc.language

Since you are here, the nShow field determines what is passed as the last
parameter to WinMain. It is up to the application whether it takes any
notice of this parameter. Unfortunately for you, the Norton program
apparently takes no notice. Your best bet may be to try to minimize the
Norton window after the program has been launched.

forget ShellExecuteEx use ShellExecute instead, much simpler
eg. your.exe is executed in the background
ShellExecute(0,"open","your.exe",0,0,0);

Wrong.

The C++ language or standard library doesn't have a function
named ShellExecuteEX or ShellExecute.

Please don't post off topic answers to off topic questions. Direct the
OP to another group where it's on topic instead, or stay quiet.
