How to close a file opened using ShellExecute
-
Hi, I am woking with a dialog based application.On click of a button I opened a text file using ShellExecute(NULL, "C:\\Text.txt", szPath, NULL, NULL, SW_MAXIMIZE ); On clicking another button I should be able to close this file. Can anyone please help with some function that automatically closes a file when passed the file path to it. Thanks

Send that window (e.g., Notepad) a
WM_CLOSEmessage.
