Run default options

[ricky]

Hello,

I need to create ma own Run function, but can't find the default value for a parameter.

What is the default value for opt_flag?

Nothing appears in the help.

Thanks for your help

opt_flag - Controls various options related to how the parent and child process interact. You will need to provide the parameter, otherwise it is not specified.

run

Thanks, but normally each value as a Default value, Example below :

workingdir : [optional] The working directory. Blank ("") uses the current working directory. This is not the path to the program.

show_flag [optional] The "show" flag of the executed program:
    @SW_HIDE = Hidden window (or Default keyword)
 

But in the opt_flag nothing is specified. Who can help me?

I have also the same problem for runwait.

Thanks in advance

If you want to make your own function that always has certain default values then make a function and add variables to send to it and call your function. This sounds pretty easy if you know autoit.

From using it I would assume that the opt_flag is zero and that there is no interaction between the parent and child processes, meaning you get no feedback from the process you ran other than the PID.

Really not that hard to test.

Everything in the helpfile

Here is my function :

Func _Run($program, $workingdir = "", $showFlag = @SW_HIDE, $optFlag )

    Local $return = "", $returnError = "", $PID
    $PID = run($program, $workingdir, $showFlag, $optFlag)

    If @error Then
        $returnError = " - Error: " & @error
        $return = ""
    Else
        $return = " (PID: " & $PID & ")"
    EndIf

    _FileWriteLogRC("", "Run" & $return & ": " & $program & $returnError )
    Return $PID

EndFunc

I just want to transfert the default value to the real run function if it's not defined. But the default value is not in the manual!

Just click on the link!

[optional] Controls various options related to how the parent and child process interact.

    0x1 ($STDIN_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDIN stream

    0x2 ($STDOUT_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDOUT stream

    0x4 ($STDERR_CHILD) = Provide a handle to the child's STDERR stream

    0x8 ($STDERR_MERGED) = Provides the same handle for STDOUT and STDERR. Implies both $STDOUT_CHILD and $STDERR_CHILD.

    0x10 ($STDIO_INHERIT_PARENT) = Provide the child with the parent's STDIO streams. This flag can not be combined with any other STDIO flag. This flag is only useful when the parent is compiled as a Console application.

    0x10000 ($RUN_CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE) = The child console process should be created with it's own window instead of using the parent's window. This flag is only useful when the parent is compiled as a Console application.

They have given you the answer

@j0kky : I click 2 times to your link. But it arrives on the manual, but the default value is not mentionned.

If you have a better information (not seen by my eyes), please give me the information and not a link!

Thanks for your help.

@ricky03 brewman gave you the answer bud. It's zero. see post >#6

Ok. Thanks all!
