Hi,

I am new to kix scripting and have been looking at the various codes on both here and on kixforms.

To run the scripts I drag them over the Wkix32.exe using windows explorer.

I have copied some code from the examples and as a standalone script it works. The ping command runs and the dos box closes.
 Code:
shell "%comspec% /e:1024 /c ping 192.168.2.1"


I then went on to create a very basic form with a single button and a picture, the button then calls the above code inside a function.
 Code:
 Function Button

shell "%comspec% /e:1024 /c ping 192.168.2.1"
EndFunction


When the button is pressed it runs the code, but the Dos window stays open and unless I close the form I cant get it to close.

I cant seem to find a way that once i get the 3 responses from the Ping or the final results are displayed that I can get the dos box to close.

Any help is much appreciated.

TIA

You can see my version of it at http://www.kixforms.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=810
Maybe more that you are looking for, but it worked for me.

This was my shell command
 Code:
Shell 'CMD.EXE /c PING '+$Element+' -n 2 | find /i "TTL" >nul'


Where $Element was the server/device I wanted to ping

The Ping() UDF would also be an option.

I get never tired to mention that "TTL=" is the thing to search for to get 100% correct staements about a reply... You may search the board for "TTL=" to get an explanation

I would not be surprised that is why I have it in there.

You only have "TTL" ... this would give a false result on "TTL expired in transit"

Like said, have not looked at the code but if it's using the WMI code I think it is that method is new to XP

The WMIOPing() UDF header says so
 Code:
; DEPENDENCIES:
;   Windows XP or Server 2003

And the reason is that the ability to use a ping via WMI was only introduced in Windows XP/2003 and never retro-fitted to the older operating systems.

Yes it is built-in to Windows 2000 as well but each new version of Windows OS adds support for new items in WMI - There are now items that Vista has that XP does not have and I'm sure Server 2008 will have some that Vista does not have, etc...
