Exe in an exe...huh?
Author
Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to make it to where in a winAPI you could also have a command line system in it. Meaning I want to have to .exe files and make so I can use one then open another. Is it possible to do this? How do I do this?
thanks,

I want it so you can click the button command line and it brings up that dos-window looking thing and you use Visual C#/C++ there and not win32 programming. So in other words you''d use the commands cout << "Hello, world!" << endl; and it would display it. That''s what I want. hope that helps,

You could simply use WinExec() I think something like that so you can call another program (.exe).
Yes, it is possible.
The easy way to do it would be to pipe the user input formatted as a C++ program to the CL.EXE compiler, writing to something like C:\TEMP\TMPOUT.EXE, and then running that output file, re-directing the standard handles. This is probably just a day of work.
The harder way would be to include a C++ language parser and library, and execute the parse tree after it''s parsed. You don''t need to generate code, which makes it easier than writing a full compiler, but it''s still pretty hard.

Sorry get it now. Maybe look at some scripting stuff so that you can generate an interpreter like program.
I dont know your application, but this is built into the VS.NET 2003 debugger. In the command window you can type a single line of code, and it executes it immediately.
Dont know that this will help you, but if they can do it, so can you...somehow.
