Using listener to execute Command line program

[danward79]

Hi,

I have been having a play wit studio, with a viw to linking it in with my Home Automation system and Girder better.

I think the listeners are ideal for me. I am trying to execute a small commandline program, but it is not working. Could someone just steer me in the right direction please.

I have been trying to use Execute Process. I have the following as it's parameters

p = ExecuteProcess("cmd", "C:\\Program Files\\Promixis\\Girder\\event.exe" + " hello", null, true)

Which does not work.

I have also tried

p = ExecuteProcess("cmd", "C:\Program Files\Promixis\Girder\event.exe hello", null, true)

and

p = ExecuteProcess("C:\Program Files\Promixis\Girder\event.exe", " hello", null, true)

So the question is... What am I doing wrong.

I have had a look in the tracer, and it is seeing the listener event.

I have set it up so I have the listener ---> Action.

Thanks in advance.

I have not tried this at ALL... but try this instead...

p = ExecuteProcess("C:\\Program Files\\Promixis\\Girder\\event.exe", "hello", null, true)

See if that works for you.

Thanks that did the trick

Do you know if it is possible to have "Global Listeners"?

Rather than "Local" ones, by that I mean a listener that applies to all menu's

Sure is. Just create a Theme and name it "Global". Any listeners underneath it are considered global listeners. It's covered in the manual.

Thanks Jeff,

Sorry, I have printed the manual, just not been on the train to work for a couple of days... So next time I go to work I will start reading it.

I read everything on the train! ;-)
