I'm having problems using the shell.dll or shell32.dll

I read several examples to use the Windows Shell to be able to use the function ShellExecute, but I can't do it.

I declare the function in the following way and I did save as DLL_SHELL32 in SYSPROCS:

SHELL32

ULONG PASCAL ShellExecuteA(ULONG, LPCHAR, LPCHAR, LPCHAR, LPCHAR, ULONG) AS SHELLEXECUTE

but , when I try to use the function ShellExecute OI send the message

"Function ShellExecuteA does not exist in Dynamic Link Library SHELL32.DLL"

I did try different ways, but i don't what else to do

Hector,

You can only call the 16-bit Shell.DLL from OI16 (unless you do some serious DLL programming :) so you need to prototype the 16-bit version rather than the 32 bit version…

Anyway, here's the Prototype definition that should work for you

SHELL

USHORT PASCAL ShellExecute( USHORT, LPCHAR, LPCHAR, LPCHAR, LPCHAR, SHORT )
