I have bat-file, that make some operations. How to run this file from Delphi and wait, until it stops. Something like that:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
//Starting bat-file
bla-bla-bla
showmessage('Done');
end;
This executes the given command line and waits for the program started by the command line to exit. Returns true if the program returns a zero exit code and false if the program doesn't start or returns a non-zero error code.
function ExecAndWait(const CommandLine: string) : Boolean;
var
StartupInfo: Windows.TStartupInfo; // start-up info passed to process
ProcessInfo: Windows.TProcessInformation; // info about the process
ProcessExitCode: Windows.DWord; // process's exit code
begin
// Set default error result
Result := False;
// Initialise startup info structure to 0, and record length
FillChar(StartupInfo, SizeOf(StartupInfo), 0);
StartupInfo.cb := SizeOf(StartupInfo);
// Execute application commandline
if Windows.CreateProcess(nil, PChar(CommandLine),
nil, nil, False, 0, nil, nil,
StartupInfo, ProcessInfo) then
begin
try
// Now wait for application to complete
if Windows.WaitForSingleObject(ProcessInfo.hProcess, INFINITE)
= WAIT_OBJECT_0 then
// It's completed - get its exit code
if Windows.GetExitCodeProcess(ProcessInfo.hProcess,
ProcessExitCode) then
// Check exit code is zero => successful completion
if ProcessExitCode = 0 then
Result := True;
finally
// Tidy up
Windows.CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hProcess);
Windows.CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hThread);
end;
end;
end;
