opening a file

[nikhil]

Hello every one,

Can any one tell me the syntax for opening and closing a file in
associated program from C++.
For an instance I got a MS word file. How can I open it in MS word
from a console program in C++. and also how can I close any
application from the console program ( like closing MS word opened in
previous step).

I'm using Visual Studio 2005.

thanks

What makes you think a C++ question is topical in a C group?

Given that he doesn't want to open the file in his program, but rather
how to get the "associated program" (ie: MS-Word in his case) to open
and close it, I doubt that clc++ is the right place, either. This is
clear by the unquoted part of the OP:

The right place would be one of the Windows-specific groups, but I
don't know which one.

Geez. Don't send him to clc++ with all that non-standard crap.

Your answer is somewhere in the news:microsoft.public.* area.
Your question is about OLE Automation.
Happy hunting.

what you call "context objects". It appears to me to be
implementable as a set of wrappers around the existing functions
for systems that don't support it, so this may actually be a
viable interface fairly soon. (For folks who are familiar with
gnulib--which is not c.l.c compliant code by any means--I'm
thinking about adding a module to support these new functions.)

Glad to hear it. Can you have pointers to info about what the API will
look like?
