Description

Passes <Object> as a command line string to the Windows CreateProcess function, to run a program.

Note: If <Object> is a program, the fully qualified path name of the file needs to be passed. Thus, passing WINWORD.EXE to run Microsoft Word will not work.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
<value>(Optional.) An @FM-delimited array:
 
Value
<1> Mode to be passed to Windows CreateProcess function. If Value<1> is a negative number, then RUNWIN will work as a "modal" call (it will block all OpenInsight forms and will not return control to the caller until the calling application is completed). returnvalue is then an application exit code.

Valid modes are:

ValueMode
-1Modal
0Hidden
1Normal
2ShowMinimized
3Maximized
4Show but do not activate
5Show
6Minimize
7Show minimized but do not activate

<3> Parameter to be passed to the callback function
