Thursday, April 6, 2006 at 4:29 am Posted by geek9pm (1438 messages posted) Well, I will try. It seems that you are wanting to write a program in C and then you want to make a shortcut to it. In Windows XP shortcuts normally run programs that are ready to go. The shortcut can not prepare the program or make a compilation of it. In the Windows XP system there are a number of ways to write simple programs to do things. If speed is not very important, there are "scripts" and "macros" that work with programs that have a full set of features. Programs written in C or similar forms are more primitive and rquire much attention to detail. Becausae of the limitations of this forum, I can not whow you a full program, becaue some special symbols interfere with the HTML features used here in this message box. The program you wrote requires a compilar and thne has to be linked with a library for the Windws API. Simple scipts and jobs in Windows XP can be written without the need of many special symbols . Would you like to see some simple scripts used in Windows XP?

Thursday, April 6, 2006 at 8:02 am Posted by geek9pm (1438 messages posted) A simple type of script used before windows becam popular is called "batch" and here is a simple exxample. @echo hello world pause To here is more about this kind of progra go to this:. http://www.computerhope.com/batch.htm In Windows XP the batch can only appear in a black box on the screen. But in Windows XP, a more pretty visual kind of script is call "VB" and is more dificult to learn. First read over the material about batch and seeif that will do what you want. I must go now, it is daytime here, and I am only a night geek..

Thursday, April 6, 2006 at 7:19 pm Posted by Thanhbinh (6 messages posted) Maybe you're not clear much about my problem. My task is that I have to convert from a GUI application to a Console app. When I creat shortcut for my Console app, it doesn't work well. I found that it was not because of the arguments, so I wrote a simple console app(which I posted), the error was the same. I want to fix this error. Plz help me.

Thursday, April 6, 2006 at 11:21 pm Posted by geek9pm (1438 messages posted) I would like to help, but I do not know what you program must do. I have written many programs that work in the MS-DOS mode of Windows. As I recall, using a shortcut was never a bproblem. If you wish to work in the CMD mode, the shortcut to use is the shortcut to "Command Prompt". Example: I have a program called "Hello.exe" and it is in the folder C:\BIN I wud make copy of "command prompt" shortcut, edit it to open in C:\BIN and charge other things needed. I do not understan why you want the shortcut to go directly to the hello program. The hello progam can not take parameters to control the GUI, becaue it is only a console program. It can not tell the GUI where to place a message. The command shortcut automatically creates a box in the GUI. When you call a console program without a consolem you can not have a console. In this case "console" is often called "Ms-Box". If the purose of the program does not require a lasting visible msbox, then that would be OK. The example you gave displays a message the user will not see, unless he is superman, the console disapears before the message appers.

But I think I should tell my problem more clearly.Don't care about the app I have, only care about this: the prgram written in VC++(type Win 32 Console): mypro.cpp #include "stdafx.h" #include "conio.h" int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int n; printf("Hello World!\n"); scanf("%d",&n); printf("%d",n); getch(); return 0; } I make a shortcut to mypro.exe(in Debug) run the shortcut from cmd (run the .lnk from cmd) You will see the difference between run mypro.exe and run the shortcut, both from cmd.What's reason?????? Why are they different.What make the difference. The problem I have when I write my application is maybe the same.If you can answer the question above, I can solve my problem.

It does work, but you do not understand how it works. The program, by itself, does do have all the features you want. The enviroment provides a place for your porgram, when you put it into a different envikroment, there are things yhou do no know about. The program will work inside the vidual studio enviroment. It is NOT a qulified program to work in the Windows envikroment as a "stand alone". Visual Studio also creates many other parts of the code for you. In Windows, it is not enough to have a bit of code, the code must be jhave other components that will be joined with a library and then made into a file of type EXE. If you do not follow the rules for making program, it does not work. some code will look OK inside the envikroment, and it can be good code, but it is not complete.. In Windows XP there are strict requiements for a program to run freely without a helper or a "sheel". The development enviroment of sisual studio is a enviroment seperate and inside the envikroment of Windows XP. For example your program uses "conio". Well, inside Visual Studio it ddoes not really use "conio" as would a valid XP program would. Visual Studio provides a envikromnet the offers a substitute for conio. You need to pay more attention to the documentation. And the results you get depend on version of C++ you are using, etc. Geek9pm On Friday, April 7, 2006 at 12:20 am, Thanhbinh wrote: >Thank you very much! >But I think I should tell my problem more clearly.Don't care about the app I have, >only care about this: >the prgram written in VC++(type Win 32 Console): >mypro.cpp >#include "stdafx.h" >#include "conio.h" >int main(int argc, char* argv[]) >{ > int n; > printf("Hello World!\n"); > scanf("%d",&n); > printf("%d",n); > getch(); > return 0; >} > >I make a shortcut to mypro.exe(in Debug) >run the shortcut from cmd (run the .lnk from cmd) >You will see the difference between run mypro.exe and run the shortcut, both from >cmd.What's reason?????? >Why are they different.What make the difference. >The problem I have when I write my application is maybe the same.If you can answer >the question above, I can solve my problem.
