ShellExecute(/*parameters*/); will open the file in the application that it is related with. You will have the file path from the FileDialog

I have to just display a jpeg file from the selected folder.No other operation has to be done.What should I do?

So, did you try opening the file using ShellExecute? Where do you want to display the jpeg file. look at the parameters of the ShellExecute function. You can pass the name of the application that you want the file to open in. Hope this helps.

Yes. BTW you can take some time out and visit MSDN site for more help on ShellExecute and how to use it.

That would be the default associated application in the registry settings [Don't recollect where exactly] for jpeg files.

Using C++ program I want to place the cookie in the users cookie folder (C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Cookies) by creating a cookie file. I know how to create a file, but placing the cookie in the users cookie folder (C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Cookies) is the problem. As when I saw my cookie folder, files are named with user "name@filenale.txt" (ex:administrator@codeproject[1].txt).

So can any one give me tips in placing the cookie file in the cookie folder with the above mentioned file naming style.

To get the Cookie folder location, call SHGetSpecialFolderPath() by specifying CSIDL_COOKIES. For code snippet, refer - http://weseetips.com/2008/05/01/how-to-get-the-path-of-special-folders-in-windows/[^]

Once you had the cookie folder location, you can create cookie by simple file operations.

Jijo.

Alternatively, I can use InsertString() function to insert the item at whatever position I want.

Removing CBS_SORT style from the combo should help! Take a look at ModifyStyle and ModifyStyleEx functions.

Hi Nibu Thomas, thanks for the great help!!

I thought if there should be a function to remove the style and you pointed it..

An alternative is to use the resource editor. Open the properties of your combo box: there is a 'Sort' property that you can disable.
