ShellExecute

[magix]

Dear Guru,

From Dos Command, I can execute like C:\Converter TextFile.txt or
C:\Converter D:\TextFile.txt

I wrote an application (using VC++) to call a dos command, where
sztxtBuffer1 is the select / browse text file, and Converter.exe is located
at the same directory/ folder with this application.
I tested that the following is not working well.
int ret = (int)ShellExecute(hWnd, "open", "Converter.exe", sztxtBuffer1 ,
NULL, 0);

How can the application look for Converter.exe at the current direcotry,
instead of specifying the absolute path of Converter like

int ret = (int)ShellExecute(hWnd, "open", "C:\Converter.exe",
sztxtBuffer1 , NULL, 0);


Because the application and converter can be installed at any directory.

Thanks.

Your question doesn't belong here. You need to post your OS-specific
question to 'comp.os.ms-windows.programmer' (or any of its subgroups).
