DllCall with ShellExecute and RunAs Topic is solved

[highend]

I've used this for a very long time with v1, but it doesn't work with v2 atm:

Code: Select all

DllCall("shell32.dll\ShellExecute", "UInt", 0, "Str", "RunAs", "Str", A_AhkPath, "Str", """" . A_ScriptFullPath . """", "Str", A_WorkingDir, "Int", 1)

Code: Select all

Error: Missing space or operator before this

What"s wrong with it?

That’s not how you escape quotation marks in v2. You can either use`", which would look like "`"" inside quotation marks, or even better, use single quotes for defining the literal string so that the double quotes inside them don’t even need to be escaped: '"'. So in your code, the latter would be:

Code: Select all

DllCall("shell32.dll\ShellExecute", "UInt", 0, "Str", "RunAs", "Str", A_AhkPath, "Str", '"' . A_ScriptFullPath . '"', "Str", A_WorkingDir, "Int", 1)

(the syntax highlighting on the forum is still based on v1, so it might not look exactly as expected)
