In your declarations at the top of the code, paste: - Public Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
And then use this function: - Public Function ShellExec(ByVal strFile As String)
-
Dim x As Long: x = ShellExecute(0, "OPEN", strFile, "", "", 0)
-
End Function
Passing the filepath as a parameter.
Hope that helps.
And the example you requested:
Private Sub cmdOpen_Click()
ShellExec("C:\testfile.doc")
End Sub
In your declarations at the top of the code, paste:
- Public Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
And then use this function:
- Public Function ShellExec(ByVal strFile As String)
-
Dim x As Long: x = ShellExecute(0, "OPEN", strFile, "", "", 0)
-
End Function
Passing the filepath as a parameter.
Hope that helps.
Woa, that's very nice. Sometimes I would be called Shell excute function, but Shell command in VB can't archive parameters with space character.
