Working draft of a new extension- Process object

[Joshtek]

So is the Process object working for everyone but me?

BTW, I think you have the title and message mixed up in the extensions private beta warning.

Considering your playing with this idea command processor. Here are some comments.

Working with command line is a little different than working with standard windows apps.

For example - Command line returns a value when cmd window closes and will returns between 0 & 255 called errorlevel.

and Command line has a standard output, an error output, a standard input and input from a file.

You can have more than one command window! Have you considered this functionality.

You may want the command window hidden, shown.

You may want to read the stardard output window or the error output window. In other words you may need to buffer the window.

You may want to redirect the output to a file and read it at the same time.

If you could build a extension that controls the command line well, MMF could do some really powerful things.


Working with memory is different than working with command line!!!!
You need to distingwish the two. Mixing them together is confusing.
For example if you use the process of launching to gain the handle of a process then don't call it command line.

Have a look at MMB(multimedia builder 4.7 I think) they have a extension they use which can take control of a window of another app and send keystrokes, mouse clicks and menu command to" The application literally becomes a part of your own app like a sub app. I not sure but I think it can also get output from object from the screen as well.

Also There is another app called Autoit which doesn't have the intergration feature but is really powerful in sending keystrokes, mouse etc to other apps and controlling them.

You really IMHO have two extension here, maybe you could consider spilting them.
