Open As Dialog?

[billthecreator]

is there a way to call a DLL of open as?

i saw somewhere, either VB or C, that they use the verb, "openas" in their

shell execute. but that didn't work with autoit's shellexecute.

Do you mean the undocumented verb "runas" which, according to some comments, requests UAC elevation :

Would be interesting if someone with UAC enabled would try it and report back

_OpenWith(FileOpenDialog("","","All Files (*.*)"))

Func _OpenWith($file)
    If FileExists($file) Then Return DllCall("shell32.dll","hwnd","OpenAs_RunDLL","hwnd",0,"str","","str",$file, "int", 0)
EndFunc

I believe this is what im looking for. Im at work right now, will have to try it later.

Thank you so much.
