How to open Run dialog

[alex]

Is it possible to open the run dialog box from code and execute a command?

Thanks

Well, you can probably PInvoke it (see
http://www.nirsoft.net/vb/shell32dlg.html for a ?VB6? example) - not sure
there is a .Net wrapper built into the framework, but it wouldn't be hard to
code from scratch with a textbox, a file-open dialog (on browse) and
Process.Start

IIRC this is possible using p/invoke + an undocumented function, but if you
only want to start another application I suggest to use
'System.Diagnostics.Process.Start'.

You can try to use our Dialog Workshop .NET product. It contains RunDialog
component which does exactly what you need. Also many other powerful dialog
components are available (including Open/Save, Print, etc.).
