hi all... i've used the following coding for the program... now i want to use *.exe so that i can get the window for which ever .exe function i typed::

CODE
void CDay2Dlg::OnRunpgm()
{
    // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
    ///////////////////////
     // MY CODE STARTS HERE
     ///////////////////////

     // Get the current values from the screen
     UpdateData(TRUE);

     // Declare a local variable for holding the program name
     CString strPgmName;

     // Copy the program name to the local variable
     strPgmName = m_strProgToRun;

   // Make the program name all uppercase
    strPgmName.MakeUpper();

     // Did the user select to run the Paint program?
    if (strPgmName == "PAINT")
         WinExec("mspaint.exe", SW_SHOW);

    
  if (strPgmName == "NOTEPAD")
         WinExec("notepad.exe", SW_SHOW);

    
     if (strPgmName == "SOLITAIRE")
         WinExec("sol.exe", SW_SHOW);

In which case this is posted in the wrong forum and should be in the C, C++ forum

I'm sorry I don't understand what this is supposed to mean.

You already seem to know how to use: WinExec(program_name, SW_SHOW);

have the user type in a name, store the name in a string, and then pass it to WinExec... tada

Well VC++ is C++... it does have a set of classes known as STI which allow you to write "managed C++" programs, and since the STI libraries overload a bunch of operators (which really changes the feel of the language) it does not seem like C++, but it still is. -- Though to be fair, Microsoft always adds their own twists so maybe it is fair to call it "similar to c++".

But there is nothing in that code snippet that is unique to VC++
