Topic: Shell Application

[Lee Mac]

I was experimenting with the Shell Application (quite a useful little thing!), using this reference

But I cannot seem to get the Explore method to work, any help is of course appreciated.

This is what i have tried so far:

Code: [Select]

(defun c:test (/ shell)
  (vl-load-com)
  (setq shell (vlax-create-object "shell.application"))
  (vlax-invoke shell 'Explore "C:\\Users\\Lee Mac\\Documents\\")
  (vlax-release-object shell)
  (princ))


[CAB]

Almost the same?

But it works for me and yours does not.

Well this does work for me!

Code: [Select]

(defun c:test (/ shell)
  (vl-load-com)
  (setq shell (vlax-create-object "shell.application"))
  (vlax-invoke shell 'Explore "C:\\Windows")
  (vlax-release-object shell)
  (princ))

Sorry, After rebooting ACAD, it worked fine
