Hi All,
There are some things I would like to do with a Win32 application:
- Run a program: I can use system(), but I don't want the console window to
appear
- Open a sort of MessageBox with no buttons, that doesn't block my
application but only shows "Doing this....."; of course I would like to be
able to change the text and close it
I understand that I can't go on like that :), so if anyone can suggest where
I can find a comprehensive on-line help for Windows function, even better a
downloadable version....
Thanks In Advance
Amedeo Storni

Time to move move to a windows32 specific forum instead of gnu.gcc.help.

Possibly need to use ShellExecute, CreateProcess, and so on.

And this is where you need to get a book on windows32 API. There are on
line versions available, and depending on the version/vendor, it can vary
from a few to 13MB! See:

And, Amedeo, the Win32 API doc linke dto at the lcc URL above is an amazing
resource to have. If you balked at the mention of the huge download, don't: go
get it.
