Question

I am doing a software project with Visual Studio Professional 2010.

In the form that I am making, I would like to put a link to open Microsoft Paint. How can I execute another application (MSPaint) from mine?

Answer 1

Call ShellExecute() passing open as the verb and mspaint.exe as the filename.

ShellExecute(
    MainFormWindowHandle,
    "open",
    "mspaint.exe",
    NULL,
    NULL,
    SW_SHOW
);
