command to launch a .bat file?

[JaySDC]

Hi,

My project is almost done.

Is there any code/command/way to launch a .bat file ?

Couldn't find any doc on that.

Quick recap: I am very very very new to coding in general so if you actually write code to help me out, note that I probably won't be able to do anything beside copy/paste : P
From the intel I gathered I *might* have to do it in c++ which is even trickier for me as the only experience I have is with qml (and is equal to something like 50hours : )

No one? : (

Hi:

You can try code:

ShellExecute(NULL,"open","filename.bat",NULL,NULL,0);

ShellExecute(NULL,"open","filename.bat",NULL,NULL,0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Hope this help.

I can see how it could work but I need friend to help me implement the code in my project.

Will let you know.

Cheers,

It depends of your application. You can execute it from a button or directly in your code how another instruction ...

I have almost all my code in qml, could you tell me what method/code I should use if I want to "activate" ShellExecute when pressing SPACE?

I tried

Keys.onSpacePressed: {
     ShellExecute(NULL,"open","filename.bat",NULL,NULL,0);
}

Keys.onSpacePressed: {
     ShellExecute(NULL,"open","filename.bat",NULL,NULL,0);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But ShellExecute is not recognized.

I tried to put this code in main.cpp and this time it seems to be recognized (i.e it is not underlined in red) but obviously something is missing : )

Ps: I remind you guys that I started to code like a month ago, so I usually need very specific stuff. My theory on algorithm and the like is good but I lack the practice. Most problems comes from syntax issues and not knowing how to translate that algorithm into actual code : )

I have no idea where that ShellExecute comes from, I definitely have no heard about it.

Let your friend have a look at QProcess.

Well I could not find much on ShellExecute.

What is sure is that when I put this line into the main.cpp, it's not underlined in red probably meaning that it could be used. Don't know how though.

Will do for QProcess.
