Command To Open App In Windows in background

[zhanghuanqian]

i want to run other application with parameters in background without a gui with LC which is at "C:\Program Files\".
and how can i know the app has started and exited or not?

use shell,launch,open process?which function or command can hide the app and also can send a parameter to the app?

thanks everyone!

You're on the right track with shell.

When you looked up the shell command in the Dictionary, you may have noticed the hideConsoleWindows property among the See Also items for that entry. From your description it sounds like those two elements should get you going with launching a an app without a visible console window.

got it!

put df&"/myapp.exe" & " -b -r "&df&"/temp.raw -o dy.log "&df&theFilePath into tCommand
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
open process tCommand
close process tCommand

but how can i know myapp.exe is quit or not?

thank you!
thanks everyone!
