Thanks Thomas for the response & for the Solution. Its working now I just did if (::SendMessage(hwndCheckBox,BM_GETCHECK,0,0)==BST_CHECKED) to check the status. But still for this I am getting error ShellExecute(NULL, "open", FileName ,NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); Error:- : error C2065: 'ShellExecute' : undeclared identifier Error executing cl.exe.
