Shell return codes

[stevenb46]

I'm using:

Code: Select all

str_convFirst = "convert -density 960 -units PixelsPerInch -colorspace sRGB g54w08.eps -flatten -scale 10% -weight Bolder g54w08.png"
l_try = Shell(str_convFirst, vbHide) 'run line to generate png

in VB6

It completes, and renders a file. I'm getting back 6600 for l_try, what does this mean?

How do I know it completed or if it failed? Anyway to determine that based on return value?

Using Windows 7 - 64bit

Sorry, using VB6

Your questions are about Visual Basic. Sorry, I don't know the answers. Microsoft documentation would seem the obvious place to go, eg http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 60%29.aspx
