Include a exe-file in your application and execute it

1. Start notepad and create a .rc-file that looks like this: Starte Notepad und erstelle ein .rc-file, das etwa so aussieht: TESTFILE EXEFILE C:\Windows\Notepad.exe (Make sure that the Path to your Exe-File is correct!) (Stelle sicher, dass der Pfad zur Exe-Datei korrekt ist!) 2. Save it as myres.rc Speichere es als myres.rc 3. Compile the file with brcc32.exe (in your Delphi-bin directory) to get myres.res Kompiliere die Datei mit brcc32.exe (Im Delphi-bin Verzeichnis) um die Datei myres.res zu erhalten. 4. Copy myres.res to your Project directory. Kopiere myres.res in das entsprechende Projekt-Verzeichnis. 5. In your unit write the following: In der unit, schreibe etwa das folgende: var Form1: TForm1; NOTEPAD_FILE: string; implementation {$R *.DFM} {$R MYRES.RES} function GetTempDir: string; var Buffer: array[0..MAX_PATH] of Char; begin GetTempPath(SizeOf(Buffer) - 1, Buffer); Result := StrPas(Buffer); end; // Extract the Resource function ExtractRes(ResType, ResName, ResNewName: string): Boolean; var Res: TResourceStream; begin Result := False; Res := TResourceStream.Create(Hinstance, Resname, PChar(ResType)); try Res.SavetoFile(ResNewName); Result := True; finally Res.Free; end; end; // Execute the file procedure ShellExecute_AndWait(FileName: string); var exInfo: TShellExecuteInfo; Ph: DWORD; begin FillChar(exInfo, SizeOf(exInfo), 0); with exInfo do begin cbSize := SizeOf(exInfo); fMask := SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS or SEE_MASK_FLAG_DDEWAIT; Wnd := GetActiveWindow(); ExInfo.lpVerb := 'open'; lpFile := PChar(FileName); nShow := SW_SHOWNORMAL; end; if ShellExecuteEx(@exInfo) then begin Ph := exInfo.HProcess; end else begin ShowMessage(SysErrorMessage(GetLastError)); Exit; end; while WaitForSingleObject(ExInfo.hProcess, 50) <> WAIT_OBJECT_0 do Application.ProcessMessages; CloseHandle(Ph); end; // To Test it procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin if ExtractRes('EXEFILE', 'TESTFILE', NOTEPAD_FILE) then if FileExists(NOTEPAD_FILE) then begin ShellExecute_AndWait(NOTEPAD_FILE); ShowMessage('Notepad finished!'); DeleteFile(NOTEPAD_FILE); end; end; procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin NOTEPAD_FILE := GetTempDir + 'Notepad_FROM_RES.EXE'; end;
