B4J Question sh.Initialize with arguments

[GDO]

Hi,

This code is not working, for me, with long name :

Dim    gdo1 As String = File.Combine("C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Viewer", "PhotoViewer.dll")
    
Dim  gdo2 As String = "ImageView_Fullscreen"
    
Dim    gdo3 As String = File.Combine(chemin, nom)
' or      Dim    gdo3 As String = """" & File.Combine(chemin, nom) & """"

Dim sh As Shell
Dim pathToExe As String = File.Combine("C:\Windows\System32", "rundll32.exe")

sh.Initialize("test", pathToExe, Array As String(gdo1, gdo2, gdo3))

sh.Run(-1)

As long as gdo3 is a short name (for example d:\temp\test.jpg) everything is working BUT with a long name (for example d:\te mp\text.jpg or d:\temp\te s t.jpg) it is not working.

Do you know a way to put long name in gdo3 or a way to find short name from long name ?

Thank you.

Same trouble this way :

'        Dim l As List
'        l.Initialize()
'        l.Add(gdo1)
'        l.Add(gdo2)
'        l.Add(gdo3)
'        sh.Initialize("test", pathToExe, l)

Not tested but try:

sh.InitializeDoNotHandleQuotes("test", pathToExe, Array As String($""${gdo1}""$, gdo2, gdo3))

 

[GDO]

Not tested but try:

sh.InitializeDoNotHandleQuotes("test", pathToExe, Array As String($""${gdo1}""$, gdo2, gdo3))

Not working.
All combinations tested (even with pathToExe) and nothing is working.
:-(

Another idea ?

Thanks for your help.

The problem may come from Photoviewer.dll more than from Shell.

When I try this:

Dim sh As Shell
Dim n As String = File.Combine("C:\Program Files", "Blender Foundation\Blender\2.77\python")
sh.InitializeDoNotHandleQuotes("", "explorer.exe", Array(n))
sh.Run(-1)

It all works fine, even with spaces. Maybe the Photoviewer.dll doesn't accept paths containing spaces? Did you look at the documentation?

Could you try with doubling the double quotes?

sh.InitializeDoNotHandleQuotes("test", pathToExe, Array As String($"""${gdo1}"""$, $"""${gdo2}"""$, $"""${gdo3}"""$))

Edit:
Did you try calling directly Photoviewer like this:

sh.InitializeDoNotHandleQuotes("test", gdo1, Array(gdo2, $""${gdo3}""$))

Hi,

--> "calling directly Photoviewer" does not work
--> "doubling the double quotes" does not work

--> "Photoviewer.dll doesn't accept paths containing spaces", I think you are right :-(

Googling "Photoviewer.dll in command line" shows me long name is a trouble.

Sorry for the question but thank you for your help.
