Button to launch files

Hi,

I'm new to C++ and I came from VB .Net

I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2008 and I am trying to launch files from a button.

In VB .Net, I did this way:

Code:

---

Dim myProcess As New Process
        myProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "Files"
        myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "Test.exe"
        myProcess.Start()

---

My program will be used across multiple PCs so I had to set the directory of where the file was located then call forth the name of the file in the next line. I was wondering how I would do that in Visual C++.

Thanks

Use CreateProcess API or ShellExecute (or ShellExecuteEx)
