+
+ In the overloaded versions of this function, if @a flags parameter contains
+ @c wxEXEC_ASYNC flag (the default), flow of control immediately returns. If
+ it contains @c wxEXEC_SYNC, the current application waits until the other
+ program has terminated.
+
In the case of synchronous execution, the return value is the exit code of
- the process (which terminates by the moment the function returns) and will be
- -1 if the process couldn't be started and typically 0 if the process
- terminated successfully. Also, while waiting for the process to
- terminate, wxExecute will call wxYield(). Because of this, by
- default this function disables all application windows to avoid unexpected
- reentrancies which could result from the users interaction with the program
- while the child process is running. If you are sure that it is safe to not
- disable the program windows, you may pass @c wxEXEC_NODISABLE flag to
- prevent this automatic disabling from happening.

+
For asynchronous execution, however, the return value is the process id and
zero value indicates that the command could not be executed. As an added
complication, the return value of -1 in this case indicates that we didn't
- launch a new process, but connected to the running one (this can only happen in
- case of using DDE under Windows for command execution). In particular, in this,
- and only this, case the calling code will not get the notification about

- If callback isn't @NULL and if execution is asynchronous,

The @c wxEXEC_NOEVENTS flag prevents processing of any events from taking
place while the child process is running. It should be only used for very
short-lived processes as otherwise the application windows risk becoming
- unresponsive from the users point of view. As this flag only makes sense with
- @c wxEXEC_SYNC, @c wxEXEC_BLOCK equal to the sum of both of these flags
- is provided as a convenience.
- Finally, you may use the third overloaded version of this function to execute
- a process (always synchronously, the contents of @a flags is or'd with

- fourth version adds the possibility to additionally capture the messages from
- standard error output in the @a errors array.
