[Openroad-users] Opening files at run-time in OR 4.1

[Colin Hay]

Need help !

Trying to open a text document from within OpenROAD 4.1

Currently doing :

lv_system = 'cmd.exe /c "' + :lv_file + '"';
CALL SYSTEM (:lv_system);


This works but is painfully slow and is prone to error
E.g.

Takes 7 seconds to open the file in EditPlus (the default app to open
.txt files)
And if I close the text file too soon after it appears I get

'There was a problem sending the command to the program'

I have an ActiveX solution for Word docs

But is there a simple, reliable way of opening documents from within OR
Using the default app that also spawns a new process, ie. does not cause
OR to hang in the meantime ?
