Parameters

  • pszApplicationName
    Type: System.String

    [in] Application name that is passed to CreateProcess by the environment. For more information, see CreateProcess.

  • pszCommandLine
    Type: System.String

    [in] Command line string that is passed to CreateProcess by the environment.

  • pszWorkingDir
    Type: System.String

    [in] Working directory that is passed to CreateProcess by the environment. Can be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

  • pdwProcessExitCode
    Type: System.UInt32%

    [out] Value returned by process.

  • pbstrOutput
    Type: array<System.String[]

    [out] true if all output was generated. Can be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsLaunchPad::ExecCommand(
   [in] LPCOLESTR pszApplicationName,
   [in] LPCOLESTR pszCommandLine,
   [in] LPCOLESTR pszWorkingDir,
   [in] LAUNCHPAD_FLAGS lpf,
   [in] IVsOutputWindowPane *pOutputWindowPane,
   [in] ULONG nTaskItemCategory,
   [in] ULONG nTaskItemBitmap,
   [in] LPCOLESTR pszTaskListSubcategory,
   [in] IVsLaunchPadEvents *pVsLaunchPadEvents,
   [out] DWORD *pdwProcessExitCode,
   [out] BSTR *pbstrOutput
);

If ExecBatchScript is called with lpf set to LPF_PipeStdoutToOutputWindow | LPF_PipeStdoutToTaskList, ExecBatchScript internally calls ParseOutputStringForTaskItem. This means that any output generated by pszApplicationName must meet the format requirements of ParseOutputStringForTaskItem.
