Hi,

I use ShellExecute function in roder to launch various applications by code

HINSTANCE ShellExecute(

    HWND hwnd, // handle to parent window
    LPCTSTR lpOperation, // pointer to string that specifies operation to
perform
    LPCTSTR lpFile, // pointer to filename or folder name string
    LPCTSTR lpParameters, // pointer to string that specifies
executable-file parameters
    LPCTSTR lpDirectory, // pointer to string that specifies default
directory
    INT nShowCmd  // whether file is shown when opened
   );

this is a sample of my code

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

AnsiString run = "application.exe"             //value of string is a demo
AnsiString params = "/M /Z c:\temp\test.bmp"                    //values of
parameters are a demo

ShellExecute(Handle, "open", run.c_str(), params.c_str(),
ExtractFileDir(run).c_str(), SW_SHOW);

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

all run properly if the dir of the object in params doesn't contain blank
char (of course)

How can I open (for example)

AnsiString params = "/M /Z c:\temp\this is a test.bmp"  ???

Thanks
