Open an executable under Delphi

Hello Zacharytyshawn,

Good Day!

To launch an application or execute a file in Win32 environment we will use the ShellExecute Windows API function. Check out the help on ShellExecute for full description of parameters and error codes returned. 

As you will see we can open any type of document from our program without knowing which program is associated with it (this link is defined in the Windows Registry). 

You may download the code that attached below.

 

Regards,

Quinn Poon
