VB Tutorial for Opening Another application from your EXE.

[Hitterman]

Requirement:
Visual Basic 6.0
API Viewer (Comes with VB6)


1) First start Visual Basic 6.0.
2) As we know that by default Form1 is created.
3) Add a module to the project .

(Select Project>Add Module)

4) Add another new module.
5) Rename the original form to frmMain.
6)Rename the second module to modFunc. (This pace is for our functions

Now comes the Main Part:

Open modFunc module and write the folowing Sub

Sub OpenApp(File As String)
    'Shells to another program
    X = Shell(File)
End Sub

Calling this sub:

OpenApp (x)

Where 'x' is the Patch or Filename of the file you want to open.
You can put full patch or short filename like

OpenApp(C:\Windows\shutdown.exe)

(Don't execute this otherwise your PC will shut down.)

That's all Folks!
Hope you liked this. With this you can make a Application via which you can open many programs at once.

Actually i too learned this somewhere else andi remembered some part of it.

Why not just use the shell function? And API isn't needed, is it?
