how do i call an exe of a vc++ program in vb6

[mirz]

i have a program written in vc++. I would like to call the same program in vb6.0

you can try looking at the "shell" keyword of VB6..runs an exe file.

or if you want to use the API use the following code below:

'<---THIS SHOULD BE IN THE GENERAL DECLARATION SECTION--->
Private Declare Function ShellExecute _
Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" ( _
ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Public pcsi As String

'<---THIS MAY BE PLACED IN THE FORM--->
Dim sWorkDir As String
Dim sFile As String
Dim sCommand As String

sWorkDir = App.Path 'working directory
sFile = App.Path + "\help\help.html" ' file to execute
sCommand = vbNullString 'command line parameters
ShellExecute hwnd, "open", sFile, sCommand, sWorkDir, 1

i hope this helps and answers your question..
