4.6 Edit the Run Program Action

To invoke the batch file instead of BroadcastByPhone program, we'll need to change the run program action defined at the beginning of this lesson.

Edit Action

Select Message OK element, click the properties button on the program toolbar, select the Action tab. Select the Run Program action, click the Edit button.

Change the program to: C:\Call List\runvcast.bat and argument to '"' + message_file + '"'. Click OK to save.

Run the Batch File

When this action is executed, it will run the batch file C:\Call List\runvcast.bat with the actual value of message_file as the first argument.

"C:\Call List\runvcast.bat" "<value of variable message_file>"
