basically, I'm working on a program that will do what the run dialog will. what I need to do is have the user entered variable (from an edit box) be usable in either a WinExec or system(); command, or any other command that works.

You just need some code with a textbox to get input to a character string
then do
system(characterString);
VS gives me an error when i tried that before saying "cannot convert COMBOBOX to const char *". I added a variable through the add variable dialog, should i do something different?
