Running workbench programs from another program

[motorollin]

Which OS version? In 3.5 and 3.9 you have the WBRun command, which will simulate clicking the icon. You could call that programme from your app with the path to the programme you want to launch as an argument.

Obviously this will only work on 3.5/3.9 :roll:

WBRun will open a drawer also.

I think the WBRun supplied with OS3.5+ requires workbench.library v45+ - i.e. not 3.1.

However, I have just found this on Aminet, which might work. It also includes source code so you could implement the function directly in to your code.

Well if the command works, just call the command from your application instead of integrating the function in to your source. Not as clean as it would require the presence of the command, but it would work.
