Topic: Run exe program through lisp

[Coder]

Hello guys . 

Is it possible to run a exe file through lisp ?

Many thanks.

Yes it is possible, you will be returned to the lisp once the exe is complete.  (will even run and allow a dialog box to remain in place in CAD).

Look at the "startapp" function

Thank you all guys for your time .

Just for clarification , I am talking about VBA.exe file and not Windows Application .

Or is it the same ?

[NOT SURE]

You can call a VBA function from lisp, if that's what you're getting at.

Code: [Select]

(vl-load-com)
(vl-vbaload "Your VBA function")
(vl-vbarun "Your VBA function")
