Use ShellExecute to open folders and select files

Original link: http://futurecode.is-programmer.com/posts/24780.html

Assume that there is a file a.txt in the C: \ directory.

Open this directory is a common function of ShellExecute, the code is as follows:

ShellExecute (NULL, "open", "Explorer.exe", "c:\\", null, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

To add the "Check File" feature on this basis (which is a common feature provided by many download tools and format conversion tools), simply replace the name of the above directory with the name of the file and precede it with "/select":

ShellExecute (NULL, "open", "Explorer.exe", "/select,c:\\a.txt", null, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
