change current directory..

[alvin3343]

Hi
Is is possible to change my working directory ?
Before I launch an external application I want to set working directory to where the external application locates.

The external application has its assets in its directory.
If I don't change working directory ,the app I launched can't load its assets.

Thank you

Yes, by using the Windows API ShellExecute, as shown in the following code

dllimport "shell32.dll" stdcall long ShellExecuteA(long, String, String, String, String, int) as shExec;
shExec(getMainWnd().handle, // handle of the main window
"open", // operation verb 
getAdditionalFile("my.exe"), // external application to run
"1.txt", // parameter
"c:\\temp", // work directory
/*SW_SHOW*/5);
