Version: .NET Framework 2.0
In my Windows Forms application, how can I open a file in its native
program?. Let’s say a listbox displays a list of file names with full paths;
when a user double clicks on a file name, the file opens in its native
program, a Word document opens in a Word Application, an HTML file opens in
IE etc. etc. Much like search result pane of Windows Explorer Search utility.
Thank you

System.Diagnost ics.Process has method Start, that "Starts a process
resource by specifying the name of a document or application file and
associates the resource with a new Process component.".
Following code works fine:
OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog( );
if (ofd.ShowDialog () == DialogResult.OK )
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt(ofd.FileName );
The file open dialog shows, and when the user selects a file, and
clicks open, the file is opened on its associated program.

Arto,
Thank you very much. You explained it very well and your example was very
easy to understand.

I wrote a MDI application with a CRichEditView. When the user clicks on a
button the program displays a dialog box and after the user closes the
dialog box the program has to open a new document and then write a text
string in it. I wrote the following code to do that.
void CFormatPlannerView::OnPlaylistGenerate()
{
CGenerateDlg dlg;
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)

Hello,
I have build a program that can do file transferring between a Windows

At this moment I am in a test phase of sending files and directories.

Hi Everyone,
I am developing a file aging program that will eventually report on
every folder that is in the root directory. I have a list of requested
years, and counters set up to count every file within every subfolder
to add up all the files from the specified year. I have the
functionality working, but not quite. With the following code, the end
result includes folders within subfolders. For example, instead of

From within my project, I am opening an file elsewhere on the network and
changing contents within.
When I go to close/save, however, I can't because it's read-only (as it's
checked in).
Can I just flip read-only off, make my changes and save it, and then flip
read only back on (programmatically)? How can I do this, please?
Thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
