parameters= |
String
with parameters |
|
directory= |
Default
directory |
|
operation= |
Operation to be
performed. Default operation is "Open".
The other operations depend on the document type.
Often the operations "Edit" and
"Print" are defined as well. |
|
prefix= |
The given string is put before the file name when executing the
Windows start command. |
|
suffix= |
The given string is put after the file name when executing the
Windows start command. |
|
returnId= |
If a new process is started by
Start,
a unique process id is returned. It can be used in
TerminateProcess
to terminate the process.
Please note: When you use
Start
to call up Excel, an already existing Excel process will be used
in the standard Excel configuration. In this case no process id
will be returned. You may use the Excel start option /x to force
Excel to start a new process in any case. Example:
Start "&V[excelpath]" parameters="/e /r /x C:\temp\myfile.csv"
returnId="proc"
Similarly, when using
Start
to open an image file and thus calling Photos.exe, the first call to that process leaves
it active, subsequent calls do instead start self-terminating processes, to which GuiXT
does not connect. |
