Remarks

IMPORTANT: While KioWare can be used to open 3rd party applications it cannot guarantee any security of your kiosk while these applications are in use.

This function can be used to pass commands to the terminal such as 'notepad.exe'. Note that the process will still run interactively in the current user session.
When passing a full file path, remember to double up the slashes as in JS syntax a single backslash is an escape character.

Examples


//Run a batch file from the userdata directory. When passing a full file path, rememeber to double up the slashes as in JS syntax a single backslash is an escape character.'
var pid = KioUtils.ExecutePath('cmd.exe', '/C "C:\ProgramData\KioWare Client\UserData\myBatchFile.bat"', 1);
var wnd = null;
while (!wnd) {
   wnd = KioUtils.GetProcMainWnd(pid);
}
KioUtils.BringWndToFront(wnd);

Requirements
