Calling an SDI app from a Dialog

Expand Post »
I made an SDI application. I want to invoke it by clicking a button on a dialog in another application.

I am using VC++ and tried including the header file of former
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. #include "..\TypingEditor\TypingEditor.h"
and then creating its object with 'new'.
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. CTypingEditorApp *te = new CTypingEditorApp();
But there are errors saying:
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. public: __thiscall CTypingEditorApp::CTypingEditorApp(void)" (??0CTypingEditorApp@@QAE@XZ)
  2.  

What am i missing or diong wrong?

Re: Calling an SDI app from a Dialog

Seems like a link error to me. Have you properly included the object files of the TypingEditor project to your current project.

Re: Calling an SDI app from a Dialog

You can't invoke one executable program (*.exe) from another by merly including a header file and calling new to create an instance of it. You have to use CreateProcess(), ShellExecute() or another similar function to launch an instance of that program.

Re: Calling an SDI app from a Dialog

Hi there!
Sorry for late response. I had other assignments with earlier deadlines.

Can u please tell me how to use CreateProcess() or ShellExecute() process with my project. I haven't got any help on these methods as I am using Visual C++ 6 Bible.
