Better way then System()
Better way then System()
Is there a function better then system to execute console commands?
I would like to start and stop a service, but it's pretty annoying using the system() command because it tells you everything that's happening and makes my window look messy.

not that i know but system(""); is the shortest and easiest way to do it.

Basically the core of it would be calling these functions..
OpenSCManager()
OpenService
StartService() / StopService() or ControlService() with start/stop params
CloseServiceHandle()
Here's a fun sample from MS;

Or you can use WMI (Win32_Service class) but that involves COM which I doubt would make any sense right now

there you go thats a good example.
you can clear the screen too with system("cls"); if it's getting too messy... just tossin that out.
