ApplicationDir = Environment("ProductDir")
ApplicationPath = "\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe"

SystemUtil.Run ApplicationDir & ApplicationPath,"",ApplicationDir & "\flight\app\","open"

Please explain this code. This code is opening the lflight42.exe file, by searching the application DIr and then path tell the path from that DIR to application to run.

I want a little bit explanation about 3rd statement.

Jainbrijesh,

Another way this can be done is by combining both ApplicationDir and ApplicationPath. For example:

strAppLocation=Environment(“ProductDir”) & “\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe”

So, when you want to run the application, all you do is this:

SystemUtil.Run “flight4a.exe”, “”, strAppLocation, “open”

Usage: SystemUtil.Run "NameOfFile", "Paramters", "FilePath", "OperationToBePerformed"

Just another way… well, the third statement basically invokes the application during run session using a SystemUtil.Run statement. SystemUtil.Run statement enables you to open or run any application from a given location. Similarly, you can use SystemUtil to also close applications like this:

SystemUtil.CloseProcessByName “explorer.exe”

Hi Anshoo,

What you have explained to Mr.jain is correct.

But You cannot close the application by using SystemUtil.Run

We can use

SystemUtil.CloseProcessByName

For example...

SystemUtil.CloseProcessByName "Explorer.exe"

Rajaputra,

The application closes as you end the process. So it can be used to initiate as well as close an application.

Let's say, I have "iexplore.exe" as the process instead of "Explorer.exe". If I close "iexplore.exe" when a Browser is open, the process will close along with the Browser application.

EDIT: Wait, it is SystemUtil.CloseProcessByName and NOT SystemUtil.Run CloseProcessByName. I was mixing things up.

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't realize what I had written until I went back to my post. I will edit it.
