CVI OpenDocumentInDefaultViewer equivalent

[test_man]

What is CVI equivalent of OpenDocumentInDefaultViewer in LabVIEW?

This function opens a document in its default viewer. This function has the same effect as double-clicking on a document in Windows Explorer.

You can register file types and their default viewers in Windows Explorer by selecting the File Types tab in the Folder Options dialog.

/*-------------------- Prototype ---------------------*/
int OpenDocumentInDefaultViewer (const char Document_Filename[],
                                 int Window_Display);

Hi, Sheetal.

A quick search for "open document" in the CVI help produced the following:

int OpenDocumentInDefaultViewer (const char documentFilename[], int windowDisplay);

(Your ptototype is an uncanny likeness!)

Good luck!

Are you asking us what the equivalent function in LabVIEW is? I interprete your post that you ask us what the equivalent function in CVI is and so has obviously the other poster?

If you want to know the LabVIEW function I guess you will have to look for "vi.lib\Platform\browser.llb\Open a Document on Disk.vi"

I know what your post said. It may be my German roots but the order of the sentence seems to be placed such that you are looking for the CVI equivalent of a function that opens a document in the default viewer. And there are apparantly others that thought likewise.

It's not.

Your english, as usual, is impeccable, and that's exactly what the question appears to be.
