Launching a program to view a text file... 1

[rdalton]

In the mainframe menubar I have a HOWTO option under the help menu, I want the function to open a text file using notepad or some other default txt viewer. How do I launch a program and open a file from within my application? thanks.

u can use ShellExecute or ShellExecuteEx for that -There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't-

Could you give an example?

::ShellExecute( NULL, "open", "notepad", "c:\\files\\whatsup.txt", NULL, SW_NORMAL); -There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't-
