$ProcessID = WINAPI_CreateProcess("Command.exe","/Q /F",@ScriptDir)

Don`t work.

EDIT:

I use Windows XP.

EDIT2:

What's wrong with ShellExecute() or Run()?

Also In Autoit library The Function does not work correctly

LPCTSTR mean A part In Autoit But there is something else in this Function

Try this code

What's wrong with ShellExecute() or Run()?

These two function Working With the WINAPI functions

Meaning that they are A String Data In Autoit

You understand that you say? I suggest you a more detailed look into the matter. The Run() function is based on CreateProcess() API function. Anyway, without much need no sense to avoid use of native AutoIt functions.

[VertigoRay]

Can you specify the DEBUG_PROCESS or DEBUG_ONLY_THIS_PROCESS process creation flag with Run()? I'm looking at implementing a direct CreateProcess() call via AutoIt so I can run a process with one of the two aforementioned flags.

For some reason reason people get sad for grave-digging here, but there's relevant context in this post. I just googled my question and was brought here.

EDIT

I should note that the original function worked perfectly except that it runs in SW_HIDE. I'm trying to figure out how to run it in SW_NORMAL. From what I can tell, $tagSTARTUPINFO is set to ShowWindow. Also, I confirmed the const looks pretty much the same as it does in the doc:

Quote

dword Size;ptr Reserved1;ptr Desktop;ptr Title;dword X;dword Y;dword XSize;dword YSize;dword XCountChars;dword YCountChars;dword FillAttribute;dword Flags;word ShowWindow;word Reserved2;ptr Reserved3;handle StdInput;handle StdOutput;handle StdError

This function has been added to the standard WinAPI UDFs in WinAPIProc.au3. This thread is out of date. That's why we frown upon digging up 9 year old posts, the language changes over time and these types of threads become moot.

You can send the standard _WinAPI_CreateProcess a $tagSTARTUPINFO structure set the way you want it to.
