Good evening.
I wonder if anybody knows how to print some lines from a text-file on C:\ from a Visual C++ project automaticly, without the user to click any buttons.
It's a log-file that I automaticly want to print repeatatly.
Would be very greatful if somebody could help me with this.

regards CetGabbe.
 
Try this:

#include<windows.h>
#include<shellapi>
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{

ShellExecute(NULL,&quot;print&quot;,&quot;C:\\mytext.txt&quot;,NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
return 0;
}
