[Solved] OpenTextFile

OpenTextFile

Hey

I would like to know how to open txt file after the game is closed ?
I have tried to done it like this

Code:

if (dwReason == DLL_PROCESS_DETACH)
{
ShellExecute(NULL,"open","C:\test.txt",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
Beep(1000,1000);
}

I can hear beep when the game is closed but the test file doesn't open

anyhelp please ?

thx

Perhaps calling ShellExecute is one of those things you can't do. Also, it could be that user32.dll (the DLL which ShellExecute is located in) gets unloaded before that code is run so nothing happens. Beep exists in kernel32.dll and is normally the first to be loaded in a process and the last to be unloaded.

I'd go with this aswell...

Test that shellexecute on a normal code and see if it works. From the looks of it, it should.

worked as integer main ()
{bla bla bla}

but still doesn't work after process is detach

do you know any another way

?

What about system("link here");

You can use CreateProcess and use the lpCommandLine argument to specify a particluar argument to execute notepad.exe with. The first argument given to notepad is the name of the document you wish notepad to open.

i.e

"notepad lol.txt"

system("notepad C:\Test.txt"); should work...

@MarkHC you can close this now
