I have a DLL which after computation identifies a specific word file that needs to be opened. Can I have DLL open the specific word file, or return the path to the specific program calling the DLL and let the program handle the opening of the DLL file.
It would be great if there could be a possible solution where a DLL can launch a file.
Thanks
It being a DLL makes no difference. As long as the code executes and has permission to the file then you can open it.
You will need to use something like
Process.Start()but use the ShellExecute option with it so that it loads the associated program (most likely Word).
