You can have your consol program open paint.exe with system() not pretty but it works on an MS box.

How to do this though? i tried to do that before but i would only get "bad command or filename" what is the header file needed to do that? and do i need to put the path exp c:/mydocument/paint.exe?
paint is usually in
c:\program files\accessories\mspaint.exe
the function call to use for this is
one of the spawn functions ... see the faqs or
system( filepath );
process.h has the spawn functions
the call can be made like this
Code:strcpy(pathtopaint_and_file, "C:\\PROGRAM FILES\\ACCESSORIES\\MSPAINT.EXE C:\\MYDOCUMENTS\\MYPIC.BMP"; system( pathtopaint_and_file );

Well it still didnt work...but i guess its really not needed...hopefully someday in the future ill start proggin in windows...then i should have no trouble doing that stuff
