Re: Opening an image from RPG

Never mind. I figured it out. :)

For the archives:

C eval wCmd =
C 'STRPCCMD PCCMD('
C + '''rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL '
C + %trim(SERVERLOC) + %trim(FILENAME)
C + ''') PAUSE(*NO)'

I can open an image from RPG using STRPCO& STRPCCMD using "start."

But, as Scott has pointed out, that blinks the DOS command prompt window
open and seems kinda cheesy.

So... I got all excited and decided to use rundll32, as has been
recommended.

Doesn't work. Obviously I am doing something idiotic.

Lets suppose I have an image:

c:\Users\Sam\Pictures\Halloween\Anatomy.jpg

I want that image to open with whatever program the user has associated
with .jpg extensions. What is the STRPCCMD command? What obvious thing
am I missing?

Another thing that worried me: rundll32 sounds like it is for 32 bit
machines and Windows 7 runs on 64 bit. Are we looking at a scenario
where in a few years rundll32 will be as unsupported, just as 16 bit
stuff is today?
