深入淺出ShellExecute
譯者：徐景周(原作:Nishant S)

Q: 如何打開一個(gè)應(yīng)用程序？

ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd,"open","calc.exe","","", SW_SHOW );

或

ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd,"open","notepad.exe",
"c:\\MyLog.log","",SW_SHOW );

正如您所看到的，我并沒有傳遞程序的完整路徑。
Q: 如何打開一個(gè)同系統(tǒng)程序相關(guān)連的文檔？

ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd,"open",
"c:\\abc.txt","","",SW_SHOW );

Q: 如何打開一個(gè)網(wǎng)頁？

ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd,"open",
"http://www.google.com","","", SW_SHOW );

Q: 如何激活相關(guān)程序，發(fā)送EMAIL？

ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd,"open",
"mailto:nishinapp@yahoo.com","","", SW_SHOW );

Q: 如何用系統(tǒng)打印機(jī)打印文檔？

ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd,"print",
"c:\\abc.txt","","", SW_HIDE);

Q: 如何用系統(tǒng)查找功能來查找指定文件？

ShellExecute(m_hWnd,"find","d:\\nish",
NULL,NULL,SW_SHOW);

Q: 如何啟動(dòng)一個(gè)程序，直到它運(yùn)行結(jié)束？

SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo = {0};
ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
ShExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
ShExecInfo.hwnd = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpVerb = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\MyProgram.exe";
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "";
ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;
ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_SHOW;
ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;
ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);
WaitForSingleObject(ShExecInfo.hProcess,INFINITE);

或：

PROCESS_INFORMATION ProcessInfo;
STARTUPINFO StartupInfo; //This is an [in] parameter
ZeroMemory(&StartupInfo, sizeof(StartupInfo));
StartupInfo.cb = sizeof StartupInfo ; //Only compulsory field
if(CreateProcess("c:\\winnt\\notepad.exe", NULL,
NULL,NULL,FALSE,0,NULL,
NULL,&StartupInfo,&ProcessInfo))
{
WaitForSingleObject(ProcessInfo.hProcess,INFINITE);
CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hThread);
CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hProcess);
}
else
{
MessageBox("The process could not be started...");
}

Q: 如何顯示文件或文件夾的屬性？

SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo ={0};
ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
ShExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_INVOKEIDLIST ;
ShExecInfo.hwnd = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpVerb = "properties";
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\"; //can be a file as well
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "";
ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;
ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_SHOW;
ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;
ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);
