HiQ

[Rfils]

I am using HiQ and I would like to use a Control ActiveX to launch an other application like Notepad in a different window.
Could you help me?

Best regards,

Take a look at the help for the CreateInterface function. Notepad.exe doesn't have an ActiveX so you have to start it with a command line shell. I don't recall for the moment the function in HiQ that allows that.

First, I built an ActiveX Control in Visual Basic:

Private Sub cmd_start_Click(Index As Integer)
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("NOTEPAD.exe", 1) ' Run Notepad.
End Sub

Then, I inserted this OCX file in my HiQ notebook and I was able to load Notepad application with a single click.
Eureka!

Thanks for the instructions.

It looks to me that this only launches notepad.

Is there a way to embed this so it looks like it is part of the LV / ActiveX app?
