My C++ program creates .png file and I need to open (view) this file right after creation – is there a way to open it as so it was opened within Windows explorer – so file wiil be opened with user’s preferred program and if there are no associated programs with file’s format – Windows will show dialog window in which user will be able to select any program to open that file.

Crossplatform (+Linux, +MacOS, +BSD) solution will be perfect.

Thanks.

    On Windows, you can use the ShellExecute function.
