Thanks srod! You are the man!

Here's what seems to work:


*lResult = 0
Debug SendMessageTimeout_(#HWND_BROADCAST,#WM_SETTINGCHANGE,0,"Environment",2,1000,*lResult)
Debug *lResult


If you have a better suggestion for the parameters, let me know, but this seems to work.

Hi All.

I am writing an app which requires the addition of new directories to the environmental PATH variable.

So after successful creation of the new directories, I add the new directories to the registry PATH value at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment.

But this ...

Wow - talk about old threads! Blow the dust off this one.

Anyway, I've been using the above clipper code but the "Date:" field data sometimes throws off some mail recipients because their mail servers/clients don't know how to interpret it (and I have had some complaining customers - gotta keep em ...

Sweet. Thanks!

Any reply is never too late! :) Thanks for that, I kind of suspected as much but haven't looked too deeply into the ODBC api's.

Good! because here is a even later reply.

Are changes afoot for 2009? Or am I just starting a rumor? Or did I miss an announcement somewhere?

Thanks for all the feedback.

To answer a couple questions: Windows 2000 for this particular instance.

why bother to run it by activating a shortcut to begin with? Why not just run the application file directly?

Because the shortcut contains specific parameters. I have several .lnk files which ...

I tried:
But it gave an error that it could not find "%comspec%", so I changed it to "cmd.exe" and it now works fine.

Thanks for the tip.

I have a shortcut link "myprogram.exe" which is actually "myprogram.exe.lnk", but RunProgram("myprogram.exe") returns 0, and RunProgram("myprogram.exe.lnk") returns 1 but does not run the shortcut like when I click it from explorer. Instead it launches 7-zip!??

Is there a trick to running shortcuts ...

Wow - I am late with this one, but Merry Christmas everyone! Hope its a special one for everybody.

Nice post Tipperton.

to the Process library please. Or maybe call it SystemProcessId() or OSProcessId() since it is an externally assigned number.

Thanks freak. I knew it would be something simple.

:oops:


[Edit]

Now with cross-platform goodness:

Procedure.l CurrentProcessId()
Protected lPID.l

lPID.l = 0

CompilerSelect #PB_Compiler_OS

CompilerCase #PB_OS_Windows

lPID.l = GetCurrentProcessId_()

CompilerCase #PB_OS_Linux ...

Ok, I wrote this following function to return the current process id from within the calling EXE, however, I don't like having to open a window to do it since it is in a non-windowed app. Granted, it does work, but does anyone have a non-window method to do this?

Procedure.l CurrentProcessId ...

Once again, thanks Sparkie!
