CreateProcess Example

The CreateProcess function command line is parameter is non-intuitive. For typical C style functions, the first parameter is normally the name of the program. Therefore when you invoke a program with arguments, the command line parameter doesn't start with an argument but should start with the name of the program.


      Code Example:
      
    PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;

          STARTUPINFO si;
      


          memset(&si,0,sizeof(si));

          si.cb= sizeof(si);

          _tcscpy(cmdline,_T("MyProgram.exe /param1"));       
      // note the non-intuitive first parameter. 

          _tcscpy(programpath,_T("MyProgram.exe"));

          if(!CreateProcess(programpath, cmdline, NULL, NULL,
      false, 0, NULL,NULL,&si,&pi)) {

              AfxMessageBox(_T("Could
      not run the program."));

              return false;

          }
