Call Windows Keyboard & Calc

[PedroAlex]

On tablets in Windows 10 it is useful use some system resources.

This xBase Command run ok However it call the DOS Console.

runshell( "/C /B START","calc.exe",.t. )

But this do not run..

runshell( "/C /B START","osk.exe",.t. )

Who has experience in this type of calls could say it has had success with this type of command or other type of found solution.

Many Thanks.
best regards.

On tablets in Windows 10 it is useful use some system resources.

64bit or 32bit ?

Code: Select all

     IF "OSK.EXE" $ UPPER(cAction)
        IF Is64Bit()
           @Kernel32:Wow64EnableWow64FsRedirection(FALSE)   // disable before API Call
        ENDIF
        SHELLOPENFILE("C:\WINDOWS\system32\","osk.exe")
        IF Is64Bit()
           @Kernel32:Wow64EnableWow64FsRedirection(TRUE)    // enable again
        ENDIF

...
FUNCTION SHELLOPENFILE(cPath, cFILE )
...

   lSuccess := DllCall( "SHELL32.DLL"  , DLL_STDCALL, ;
            "ShellExecuteA", AppDesktop():GetHWND(), "open", cPath+cFile,;
            NIL, CurDir(), SW_NORMAL )

I haven't tried it on Windows 10. It works fine on Windows 7.
Possibly it is not in your path on Window 10.

Hello, use the correct path on a 64 bit system:c:\Windows\SysWOW64\osk.exe in runshell or copy this exe in your application path, there is also always a 32 bit version that does not work..

My Windows 10 is 32 Bits.

Operating System Error : 740 = Operation need elevation.

I tried run aplication on admin privilegies but do not work.


I found a soft solution :

Runshell( "/C START OSK.EXE" ) - This run but open & close a previous black screen (DOS Session) and than the keyboard open.

Jimmy - I understaind Your post, but I do not have and do not know most of the functions used in the sample. In my opinion this is the right way to do system calls.

Roger - The calc.exe and osk.exe are in the same Windows folder
I verified the rights and user permissions of this files and are identical.

Many Thanks
