Compiles and executes the null-terminated statement you specify in stmt.
int _Execute(char FAR *stmt) char FAR *stmt; /* Statement to execute. */ |
Remarks
The stmt parameter can be any command or function that can be executed from the Command window. When execution of the statement is complete, control normally returns to the C statement immediately following the call to _Execute(В ). Exceptions include executing code that performs a Visual FoxPro CANCEL or QUIT command.
_Execute(В ) returns the Visual FoxPro internal error number for any error that occurs during execution of the statement, or 0 if no error occurs.
Note: |
---|
Do not call _Execute() from an event handler. |
For more information on how to create an API library and integrate it with Visual FoxPro, see Accessing the Visual FoxPro API.
Example
The following example uses _Execute(В ) to execute the passed Visual FoxPro statement.
