Have you tried the following: Open File
HANDLE CreateFile( LPCTSTR lpFileName, DWORD dwDesiredAccess, DWORD dwShareMode, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes, DWORD dwCreationDisposition, DWORD dwFlagsAndAttributes, HANDLE hTemplateFile );
Read Contents:BOOL ReadFile( HANDLE hFile, // handle of file to read LPVOID lpBuffer, // pointer to buffer that receives data DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead, // number of bytes to read LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesRead, // pointer to number of bytes read LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped // pointer to structure for data );
Read File[^] Open File[^] Regards,

If you want to see file's content you have to open it. There is no other way than opening given file to read it, and if you want to display it's content you have to read it first. Unless you are talking about viewing file's... name? :^)

Have you considered using
ShellExecute(..., "open", "file.chm", ...)?
