Pass paramters to an application while openning a file

[ytod]

Hi, everyone: I have a problem about how to open a document file with a specific application or pass some parameters into the application while opening the document file. For example: I need to open a .nrv file, a Nero file. But using ShellExecute() would always open Nero in traditional mode. I wanna open the .nrv file by Nero Express. I examine the shortcut of the Nero Express is like this: "C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\nero.exe" /w It looks like passing a parameter into the nero.exe, how can I do that through programming? Thanks!

In ShellExecute

HINSTANCE ShellExecute(
HWND hwnd,
LPCTSTR lpOperation,
LPCTSTR lpFile,
LPCTSTR lpParameters,
LPCTSTR lpDirectory,
INT nShowCmd
);

pass \W in lpParameters

But that would only execute Nero Express but not open the .nrv file if lpFile is passed with the path of nero.exe and lpParameters is passed with /w. On the other hand, if lpFile is passed with the path of the .nrv file, the parameter /w is ignored since it views .nrv file as a document file, as MSDN said. Actually it didn't work...:sigh: But thanks for your reply anyway...:) My code is like this: // csFilePath is a CString object which is equal to the path of the nero.exe // or the path of the .nrv file. ShellExecute(GetSafeHwnd(), NULL, csFilePath, "/w", NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

I didn't check but what will happen if you attch your parameters right to the filename?

CString str;
str.Format("/w %s",lpFileNameToOpen)

then

ShellExecute(GetSafeHwnd(), NULL, csFilePath,str, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
