Visual Basics button

[Hellcat]

In Visual Basics what script do you put in the button to get it to execute a batch file?

Also does anyone know where I can get myself some good tutorials for VB 6.0?

Thanx

just use the api function "ShellExecute()"

in VB it would look like this
ShellExecute 0, "", "patchtobatchfileeg c:\batchfile.bat", "", "", 1

you gotta declare it first though
shellexecute can be used to open any registered file

Sorry I'm really new to VB... How do I declare something?

To declare variables you can have either public or private and are declared like:

Private lVariable As Type
Type are like String, Boolean, Integer, Double, etc.

Subs:
Sub SubName (var1 As Type, var2 As Type...)
.
.
End Sub

Functions:
Function FuncName (var1 As......)
.
.
FuncName = "Results"
End Function

I hope that helped you out!

Try this site out. You may want to go to a book store or library and look books on VB programming.

declaring an API fuction is not the same thing

just make a new module and put this line inthe general section: Public Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
