Hello,

how can i execute a program from a vi?

I want to open a textfile with Windows7-Notepad after selelecting it from a file-path-control and pressing an open-button.

Thx for help

Put this in an Event case that handles the open button's value change.

Use the command line. Something like cmd /c notepad c:\temp\blah.txt should work.

Another option is the Open URL in Default Browser VI which is found in the help palette. If you use the Path to String function you can feed it the result as a URL and the Windows shell knows how to direct it to the default program, which is Notepad.
