Open string in edit control with another software

I want to show the data in edit control with Notepad or Microsoft Excel. Anybody know how to write the code

Write the data in the Edit control to a file. Open the file with Notepad using WinExec.

ShellExecute(handle, "notepad", filename, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); ShellExecute(handle, "excel", filename, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

::ShellExecute(NULL,NULL,_T("Test.txt"),NULL,_T("C:\\MyProjects"),SW_SHOW); From above The system will run Test.txt in C:\MyProject. Normally it use Notepad. If I want to use Microsoft Word or Excel to run this file. How to write the code?

You can still use ShellExecute(), but you'll need to explicitly indicate that word.exe or excel.exe is to be used.
