yes, but it will run so fast that it will make your computer flip in a second. so do not run it without saving all data first. i repeat that: DO NOT RUN IT WITHOUT SAVING ALL DATA
but instead of the system function, i would recommend ShellExecute. it requires <windows.h>
here is an example
ShellExecute( NULL, "open", "C:\\Progra~1\\ Intern~1\\IEXPL ORE.EXE","","C: \\", SW_SHOW);

yeah, you can launch internet explorer.
your code was about right...
1st. main is supposed to be an int (not void) and should return a number (such as 0).
2nd. a "\" in a string must be written as "\\"
3rd. in many systems (well, mine) you must make the directory into "Shortfilen ame" because it does not contain spaces.
ex. C:\\PROGRA~1\\I NTERN~1\\IEXPLO RE.EXE

Yeah, ive had DevC++ since i started programming and not a single update.
And haha, that makes sense about cygwin. before i started programming, i tried to compile a c++ file using cygwin lol-- like not in emulating a compiler-- i literally used cygwin.exe to try to compile one and wondered why it didnt work. maybe i should read instructions...
And I'll try out CodeBlocks. It looks pretty good! thank you much.Leave a comment:

"Best" compiler for windows
Now, I understand this could have several answers, but my simple question is: What is the best free C++ compiler for Windows?
For a long time, I have been using MinGW (using Bloodshed DevC++) on Windows XP. I find it great. But, assuming that i hadn't put much time into learning about that compiler that i presently use, what would everyone recommend? (and "why?" if possible)
I know others exist such as MSVC++, Cygwin,... -
yeah, like open NOTEPAD.EXE and get the hex code for itLeave a comment:

Opening File
there is a program called 010 Editor. using it, you could open a .exe file, copy the HEX code that it gives you, create an empty project and paste that code and save the file and of course, its an exact replica as if you copy and pasted. but my question is: how could i do somthing like this in c++? i mean i know how to convert to hex, its just how could i do that? -

C++ button
this is kind of a lame question, but in C++ (mingw/devc++ for example) how do you simply add a button to your window (assuming your window is set up something like...)
...Code:#include <windows.h> LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM); char szClassName[ ] = "WindowsApp"; int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hThisInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpszCmdArgumentCmdLine, int

Accelerators
im trying to get accelerators [keyboard shortcuts] working in my DevC++/MinGW program.
i have tried what seems to be every toutorial, but they are all made for VC++ which i do not use.
any suggestions on toutorials or any help for getting accelerators [Like Ctrl+S] to work and load using a MinGW complier and DevC++ environment? -
thank you guys for your help.
it turns out for some reason, the current directory (cd) is ?Not set?... so i jsut typed
system("javac C:\\Docume~1\\U SERNAME\\FILE.j ava");
thank you...Leave a comment:

thanks for your response. i have tried that and it had the same error... i edited my question right before you posted saying
opening CMD.exe and typing "cd C:\ && javac HelloWorldApp.j ava" works, but using system and doing "system("cd C:\ && javac HelloWorldApp.j ava" does not work...Leave a comment:

Passing commands in CMD
So, I wanted to compile my java script in CMD via my C++ application.
I tried
system("cd C:\\ && javac HelloWorldApp.j ava");
and
system("cd C:\\ & javac HelloWorldApp.j ava");
which neither of them work
although, when i use cmd.exe and manually type
cd C:\\ && javac HelloWorldApp.j ava
everything works fine.
anybody have any suggestions?... -
yeah, I'm using Win32.
I have looked up accelerators for quite a while and none of them seem to work. :-( can somebody give me an example of what they used that worked please?...Leave a comment:

Opening With Default Program
i finally found out how to set my registry to open a certain extension with my little text editor.
For instance, when you set notepad to open the file, you just set the value to C:\WINDOWS\NOTE PAD.exe
so, i set it to my program instead
Now, when i click on a file associated with my program, it opens the text editor, but what would i put in my script to make it load the file too?
thank you much
