Using an external EXE or BAT?

No, I want to do with the same exe. Imagine you allow the user to select the language of the app, and you have your menus with i18n() calls... you have to reinit the app to achieve the menus on the new language selected. It's pretty smart if the app reinit for itself, not need the user doubleclick the icon again.

I want this to do my Colossus - http://www.alanit.com/programas/colossus.php - multilingual

I not tryed , but :

Start the aplication with a batch file with as content :

YourExe.exe
CALL YoutBatch.bat

Then you have the possibilty to change YourBatch.bat from in the aplication and after that close the aplication

What is "i18n() calls"? Anyway, it should be possible to change the menu items language without restarting the EXE. Why do you want to restart the EXE?

Jose Luis:

You can call another fw application that calls your exe again, with a non visible window and then exit as the only task to do. In your fw program you call this exe and quits. The new application can activate a timer to wait a few seconds before execute the other program, if necessary.

Enrico: the i18n() calls are the way to internazionalizate the app using the tools provided with xharbour.
Daniel: I know the way to do it, but I want to do it with the same app.
