You are writing out a '"' with your path. You cannot include it between two " " " simply because the compiler would think that you are ending the string with your " in the middle. So you should add a "\" to it to say "Don't consider it as the end of the string".
instead of
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe
You are now saying
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe"
btw, isn't that how we open a file from command prompt?

This is the actual string that the function needs including double quotes.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe" "D:\docs\main.doc"
So all the special characters here need to be escaped or negated using a back slash.
The special characters in the string are double quotes and back slash.
So the string becomes.
\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\winword.exe\" \"D:\\docs\\main.doc\"
Now since this is a string we put a final set of double quotes at the ends. So it becomes
"\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\winword.exe\" \"D:\\docs\\main.doc\""
The path where Notepad.exe resides is in your search path, whereas the path where winword.exe resides is not in your search path. That is the reason why notepad works and not winword.
Check the PATH environment variable by typing path at the command prompt.

You can directly open the doc file as follows
ShellExecute( 0, _T( "open" ), _T( "D:\\docs\\main.doc" ), 0, 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL ); so that you dont need to think about the installation path of winword.

ShellExecute is working fine. But I have to check what is wrong with CreateProcess 
ShellExecute( 0, _T( "open" ), _T( "winword" ), 0, 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL );

ShellExecute will work with console application. You may need to use the corresponding headers (windows.h and ShellAPI.h).
See more information here[^]

Hi,
I have a double var=123.45677, I want to control the 2 decimal places i.e var should be 123.45
How to do it?
|

You cannot control it as such, but you can display it using 2 decimal places.
For example, when assigned it in a character array you can do the following.
sprintf(cBuffer, "%.2f", var);

If you need to truncate it to 2 decimal places, then
#include <math.h>
void main()
{
double var=123.45677;
var = floor(var * 100) / 100;
}
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

ShellExecute("NULL","open","D:\\windows\\MYapp\Debug\\My.exe",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOW);

error C2065: 'SW_SHOW' : undeclared identifier

and when i tried to include shellapi.h im getting lot of errors ie more than 50...Please help me out....

You probably need to include windows.h first.

Include Windows.h. You don't need to include ShellApi.h.
Also the first parameter must not be in double quotes.

Does it show any error? Does it crash?
What is the actual problem?
Are you running a UNICODE build?
I would recommend using CreateProcess instead of ShellExecute.

You can also use of WinExec.
Of one Essence is the human race
thus has Creation put the base

WinExec() is outdated...
Need to use CreateProcess().

Hello,
I have created a view object derived from CView in a function of a class derived from CMDIChildWnd.
It works fine but gives unhandled exception when closing the appliction.
While destroying this view object there is a problem. How should I destroy this View object.

Did you try to debug the root cause? If you application is crashing you can configure a process dumper tool to create a dump and then analyze it to zero in on the problem. WinDbg is an excellent utility to analyze dumps.
It's hard to provide you specific reason for the crash with the amount of information you provided. There can be n reasons like, memory overflow, uninitialized variable/pointer etc.
You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Hello,
What is a dumper process?
The problem exactly started when I created the CView object so I know that the problem is with CView object and after the CView destructor is called there an unhandled exception.
Thanks

What is Core Dumper?[^]. Process Dumper is a tool that helps you in getting the information related to a crashed process.

I Created a Window.
and I created WM_DROPFILES in callback procedure in the window.
It brings Icon Function through the event.
<br />
<br />
void OnDropFiles(HDROP hDropInfo)<br />
{<br />
HICON hIcon;<br />
char filename[MAX_PATH];<br />
UINT Filenum = DragQueryFile(hDropInfo,0xFFFFFFFF,NULL,0);<br />
for(UINT y = 0; y<Filenum;y++)<br />
{<br />
DragQueryFile(hDropInfo,y,filename,MAX_PATH); <br />
<br />
int count = (int)ExtractIconExA(filename,-1,NULL,NULL,1);<br />
<br />
HDC hdc = GetDC(main_hWnd);<br />
<br />
if (count >= 1)<br />
{<br />
ExtractIconExA(filename,0,&hIcon,NULL,1);<br />
DrawIcon(hdc,location,10,hIcon);<br />
DestroyIcon(hIcon);<br />
location += 35;<br />
}<br />
ReleaseDC(main_hWnd,hdc);<br />
DragFinish(hDropInfo); <br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
This Function is only for exe or ico files to get some icons.
By the way, I would like to bring all of the files of Icons, How should I do?
And, at this part of DragQueryFile(hDropInfo,y,filename,MAX_PATH),
It counts "y", but that file name wasn't changed.
