Is it possible to start a *document* with its registered application?
Would be nice to have a command runfile() equal to runprogram()
(I've changed my name from hkey to high key, because hkey didn't make any sense

This should do it... if you're running an executable, you can supply the parameter$ and runfrom$ strings if you want (runfrom$ is the folder the program gets run from); if it's a document you want to open, use blank strings, like this example...
Code: Select all
Procedure Launch (file$, parameter$, runfrom$)
ShellExecute_ (0, "open", file$, parameter$, runfrom$, "")
EndProcedure
f$ = OpenFileRequester ("Open a file...", "", "", -1)
; The interesting part... :wink:
Launch (f$, "", "")

I didn't think, it would be that easy
Thank you, Hi-Toro!

But RunProgram does just what you ask.
Try it...
Code: Select all
file.s=OpenFileRequester("Open File","","",0)
If file""
RunProgram(file,"","",0)
EndIf
