SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo = {0 };

ShExecInfo. cbSize = sizeof (SHELLEXECUTEINFO );

ShExecInfo. fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;

ShExecInfo. hwnd = NULL;

ShExecInfo. lpVerb = NULL;

ShExecInfo. lpFile = "c: // MyProgram.exe ";

ShExecInfo. lpParameters = "";

ShExecInfo. lpDirectory = NULL;

ShExecInfo. nShow = SW_SHOW;

ShExecInfo. hInstApp = NULL;

ShellExecuteEx (& ShExecInfo );

WaitForSingleObject (ShExecInfo. hProcess, INFINITE );

Or:

PROCESS_INFORMATION ProcessInfo;

STARTUPINFO StartupInfo; // This is an [in] parameter

ZeroMemory (& StartupInfo, sizeof (StartupInfo ));

StartupInfo. cb = sizeof StartupInfo; // Only compulsory field

If (CreateProcess ("c: // winnt // notepad.exe", NULL,

NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL,

NULL, & StartupInfo, & ProcessInfo ))

{

WaitForSingleObject (ProcessInfo. hProcess, INFINITE );

CloseHandle (ProcessInfo. hThread );

}

Else

}

ShExecInfo. lpFile = "c: //"; // can be a file as well

ShExecInfo. lpParameters = "";

ShExecInfo. lpDirectory = NULL;

ShExecInfo. nShow = SW_SHOW;
