Shellexecute in c++

[MetalSpongebob]

Hi,I have an other question about autoit funcs and the functions "father"^^...

The function "shellexecute" how is coded in c++?

ShellExecute ( "filename" [, "parameters" [, "workingdir" [, "verb" [, showflag]]]] )

And how are managed the filename,parameters,dir,verb and flags?

Unimaginatively enough, ShellExecute() uses the ShellExecute() function.

Even VisualC++?

Yes. it uses the Function described in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b...153(VS.85).aspx

Even VisualC++?

Yes, it's a very simple function, here's an example (compiled in VS2008)

#include <windows.h>
 #include <iostream>
 int main ()
 {
     HINSTANCE result;
     result=ShellExecute(NULL,NULL,L"C:\\test.mp3",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);
     if ((int)result<=32)
     std::cout << "Error!\nReturn value: " << (int)result << "\n";
     return 0;
 }
