如何使用C ++代码运行MFC应用程序exe文件？

Question

I am new to MFC and C++. A MFC application was given to me, ssentially what I am trying to achieve is to run this MFC application from my standard C++ code in another project that will be build into a library. This c++ code perform some simple if else logic where it decides if the MFC application should run or not. Could someone explain how I could achieve this?

Assume: MFCApplication.h and MFCApplication.cpp is in project one.

Assume: My project (project 2) involves

DoWork.cpp with body

if(some_logic)
{
MFCApplication x;
x.run();
.
.
.
x.terminate();
}

Answer 1

The answer is the same for any program, not just an MFC program. To run any application your program should call the CreateProcess API with the full path and filename of the exe file you wish to run.
