Calling an OS (Shell) command

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Calling an OS (Shell) command

system_ does only work with about 95% of windows applications.

This is becaus it uses an infinite wait and does not handle windows messages while waiting.
There is an article about that topic on msdn.

If you for example try to start Travelbook5 using system_ both applications, the bm app and travelbook will hang after a few seconds.

I don't know if that can be considered to be a bug, its just not 100% correct ;-)
