QE Run Program

How does QE run the program? I see in menus.ini the command, but does it use CreateProcess or ShellExecute?
If I try to run an elevated program it just fails, no error or anything, which sounds like CreateProcess, whereas ShellExecute will show the elevation dialog.

Maybe it's using an old trick and executing the program through a cmd command? :idea:
I have tried winexec in win 8.1 and works just fine.  :bgrin:

Why doesn't the editor have a "compile and Run" feature, to test what is written so far?

Other Ides have that functionality. Its a simple matter afaik to compile a temp file then execute it programatically .. then delete it when done.

What I had in mind is a one button operation.

Because there is nothing to compile.....  :biggrin:

Russell,

Its done that way so you can have a look at the assemble results, assemble and link builds the exe/dll, then see if it runs IF the build works.

RichMasm has that functionality - just hit F6, and the current source text gets assembled (even if it's not saved yet). It also autodetects if your application is subsystem console or Windows, and adds resources if [mysource].rc is present etc etc.

Thanks for the :spam: but no thank you. We were discussing the functons of QE, and not looking for a replacement. Have a good day, sir.   :eusa_naughty:

Yeah, I get that a lot. Congrats go to you Jochen, MasmBasic and RichMasm have come a long way, and you seem to have a loyal following. But you have to consider that not all will be enamored by it. Just a matter of personal taste.

Hey russell, what's your experience as programmer? Why you want assembly?

Sinsi,

Normal RUN program is "WinExec()", I like it for its ease of use.
