Question

i have 2 exe file that i want to be run simultaneously with one click. and i want to create an application in visual basic 6 that do this for me. how i can refer to the 1 and 2 exe file in my application? (the third exe file) and is it possible to make the first and second exe file to be run only when the third (my application) is running or other solutions like hiding the two files and only make the third visible?

Note: i can not access to the first and second file source

Answer 1

To open the 1st and 2nd executable you could use the Shell function.

Shell("C:\YourPrograms\Program.exe", vbNormalFocus) 

If you only wanted to open these executables if executable 3 is running you will have to do some logic in apllication 1 and 2 to check if executable 3 is in process.
