try to call wfs.exe (MS fax and scan) with webutil_host !!
hi,
I would call from Forms the MS scan and fax application “wfs.exe”.
This is found under windows\system32.
call:
WEBUTIL_HOST.NONBLOCKING ('cmd /c C:\windows\system32\wfs.exe');
Unfortunately, nothing happens. No error message and no cmd-process remains open in the taskmanager.
with other applications it works. For example:
WEBUTIL_HOST.BLOCKING('cmd /c C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe');
WEBUTIL_HOST.BLOCKING('cmd /c C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe');
I use Forms 10.1.2.3 on Windows 7.
Does anyone have any idea or can test that if it works?
thx Alfred

you can use
WEBUTIL.client_HOST ('cmd /c C:\windows\system32\wfs.exe',hide_screen);
instead of
WEBUTIL_HOST.NONBLOCKING ('cmd /c C:\windows\system32\wfs.exe');
which will run the wfs.exe file located in the windows\system32 directory. if client machine is on the windows O/S
you can view the process list by tasklist command on the command prompt.
you can use cmd /k option for remaining in that session for the errorlevel checking. -
i have found the problem on windows 64 bit
if i call the cmd /k command from Forms i just see an cmd *32 Bit
it is not posible to open the cmd 64 bit version
why ???
if i call from Commandline
64:bit
C:\Windows\system32\cmd /k C:\Windows\system32\wfs.exe works because opens cmd 64 bit Version
32 bit
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd /k C:\Windows\system32\wfs.exe not work because opens cmd 32 bit Version
???? -
i have finde the solution
use “virtual folder” called \Windows\sysnative
WEBUTIL_HOST.NONBLOCKING('cmd /c %windir%\sysnative\wfs.exe');
it works ;-)
