Have you tried without the "file:///"?

In this case it pops up an alert message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol(c) isn't associated with any program".

I tried your code with the same syntax on several UTF-8 encoded files and it works fine for me.

Thanks.
I found a strange behaviour. When i put this file in D:, so the code is
ShellExecute(NULL, L"open", browser.c_str(), L"file:///D:/index.htm", NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

it works. But i want to mention that when i try to open an ANSI encoded file from the same directory (C:/DOCUME~1/MACADA~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/) it also works fine. It is weird... Frown | :(

It appears that ShellExecute is working just fine. It's Firefox that is having a problem with the file.

I don't think it is FF problem because the problem occurs also in IE Frown | :(

Find, but it's still not a problem with ShellExecute.

it returns a value greater than 32 (success). But it opens a blank page.

Can you execute this command outside of code (i.e., the Run box)?

By typing C:/PROGRAM FILES/MOZILLA FIREFOX/FIREFOX.EXE C:/DOCUME~1/MACADA~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/index.htm in the Run box.

No, it is impossible.
Thanks for your help. I found that the file was corrupting during the program run. And the reason was not the ShellExecute function.

Convert it to a string and display it. You might use CString::Format(), as you say you're using MFC.

Convert the result into a string using CString::Format.
The use the CString variable as the lpszText parameter of MessageBox.

Something like this ....

CString strTime;

strTime.Format("Time = %d", nMyTime);
AfxMessageBox(strTime);

....

Hope that helps

You may use CString::Format method [^] and then, for instance, AfxMessageBox function [^].

I guess gethostbyname("localhost") may help.

Thanks for your reply.

I do not want to resolve the loopback address through naming services such as /etc/hosts file. I need to get the real loopback address configured with the machine irrespective of whether it is specified in /etc/hosts file or not. gethostbyname() will give me what is configured in /etc/hosts file.

Is there any other mechanism to get the real loopback address of the machine e.g. reading the routing table etc.?

Thanks and Best regards.
