Code: Select all

IncludeFile "Common.pb"
Open_Window_0()

  Quit = 0
  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
    
    Select Event
      Case #PB_EventCloseWindow 
        Quit = 1
        
       Case #PB_Event_Gadget
       
        Select EventGadgetID()
        
          Case #Button_1 ; If push Exit then quit
            Quit = 1
          Case #Button_0 ; the Patch Button

          Case #Button_2
            CloseWindow(#Window_1) ; If push cancel in that, close it
            
        EndSelect

  Until Quit = 1

ahh got it sorta...

Code: Select all

prog$="bob\bob.exe"

RunProgram(prog$)

Problem is how do I make so don't have to use full path just path from where exe is?

[dracflamloc]

"./subdir/prog.exe"

the "." signifies the current working directory
".." would mean one directory lower.
