I have a file list on my program. I want to open any file from that list by just double clicking on the file. If it's text file notepad should open with that text file already in it.
How can I call apps related to files I selected and open them?

Thanks

By using the ShellExecute or ShellExecuteEx API calls. Look in the Platform SDK for further information on how to implement these calls.
