Try this
Code: Select all
ImportC "msvcrt.lib"
system(str.p-ascii)
EndImport
OpenConsole()
system("ver")
Input()
[Edit]
Not sure if the import is correct, but it seems to work.

why don't you write a batch and start it via RunProgram?
... anyhow, what should this be good for?
there is nothing possible via DOS-commands that could not be done better via API...
DOS-commands are old and obsolete API...

You're rigth really
I see a nice code for hide and show drive by dos-commands and i deside to run it in pb if it is possible.
please test this:
1-run-->cmd
2-Diskpart
3-List Volume
4-Select Volume n --> n=number of drive-letter
5-Remove Letter l --> l=Letter of drive-letter "Hide"
6-Assign Letter l --> l=Letter of drive-letter "Show"
tested on xp only
vista?
7?

these are no "DOS commands"...
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/docu ... x?mfr=true
DISKPART ist a commandline program and is also scriptable.
so, the "correct" way would be to write a script for DISKPART,
and run "diskpart.exe" via RunProgram with the script's filename as parameter.
there should be also a way to hide a partition via API directly,
because somehow DISKPART itself accesses this OS-functionality.
additionally, this is playful messin'round with internals, you know that.
only nice to know and for fun, without any useful application.

for DOS-commands:
take a look at SCRJ's code... or write a batch script and call it.
for DISKPART:
better leave it alone.
