Hi Fivewin experts
I need to send a message and a beep to an network user, which will open on his screen

Here is a working simple sample of how to net send.

Code: Select all Collapse

#include "Fivewin.ch"

static odlg
FUNCTION MAIN()
  LOCAL msg := SPACE( 20 )
  LOCAL muser := SPACE( 20 )


    DEFINE DIALOG oDlg

    @ 1, 1 GET msg OF oDlg

    @ 2, 1 GET muser OF oDlg

    @ 4, 5  BUTTON "&Ok" ACTION sendnetmsg(msg,muser)
    @ 4, 15 BUTTON "&Close" ACTION oDlg:End() CANCEL

    ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg;
             CENTER

    RETURN NIL

function sendnetmsg(msg,muser)
local U_ser

if empty(alltrim(msg))
  return(NIL)
endif


if empty(alltrim(muser))
  U_ser:= "*"
 else 
  u_ser:= muser
endif

Shellexecute(gethwnd32(odlg:hwnd),"open","Net.exe", " Send " + u_ser + " " + MSG,,,0)


return(NIL)

Thanks U2

Antonio i've test the net send on my lan under XP Pro and it work fine but i am not sure that my secretary will be able to use a Dos box correctly

Mdandrea, i use FW 21 and this function "Shellexecute" seems to exist in it.
When i test it with your exemple i have no compiler or linker error only runtime error " Variable does not exist", but i have no documentation about it in my NG
The Ng guide attached to FW 2.1 is about FW 1.95 and nothing about Shellexecute and his parameters
Can you explain it for me.
