How to perform opening a file?

Given the path of the file, how to open it with code? just like you double click it. Thank you very much!!!

Use ShellExecute with the "open" verb. e.g. ShellExecute(      NULL, // HWND hwnd      _T("open"), // LPCTSTR lpOperation      _T("C:\\a.txt"), // LPCTSTR lpFile      NULL, // LPCTSTR lpParameters      NULL, // LPCTSTR lpDirectory      SW_SHOWDEFAULT // INT nShowCmd      ); You will need to #include <shellapi.h> and link to "shell32.lib".
