If you know the path to the desktop shortcut, then you should be able to use ShellExecute to open it. If you need a process handle (the only reason I can think that you might want to use CreateProcess for this), then ShellExecuteEx will let you do that.

I tried with ShellExecute to open this, But for network connection shortcuts it seems not working. i found another thing about network shortcuts is, the target type is a GUID rather than the actual application.
The reason why i asked about the start->run is, if you drag the network shortcut in to start->run it functions perfactly. So can i implement some code to simulate that action?

Do i have to use advance loops? I thought about it for quite a while but could not figure it out. Example
int numbs[4][4] =
[1,2,3,4
5,6,7,8
9,10,11,12
13,14,15,16];
when i print it, it should print like this.
1 2 3 4, then 8, 12,16, 15,14,13,9,5,67,11,10, (ie clockwise direction).
The function should be generic for any size matrix.Any help will be appreciated.

without actually writing the code, i would think something like this would work:
xMin = 0, xMax = arrayWidth
yMin = 0, yMax = arrayHeight
printed_something = false
do
{
loop across top edge from xMin to xMax, print the values
increase yMin
loop across right edge from yMin to yMax, print the values
decrease xMax
loop across bottom edge from xMax to xMin, print the values
decrease yMax
loop across left edge from yMax to yMin, print the values
increase xMin
} while (printed_something)

Consider this as a rough idea:
#include <stdio.h>
void PrintArrayClockwise(int *array, int rows, int columns)
{
int r = 0;
int rh = rows / 2;
int i;
while (r < rh)
{
for (i=r; i<(columns - r); i++) printf("%d ",array[(r*columns)+i]);
printf("\n");
for (i=r+2; i<=(rows-r); i++) printf("%d ",array[(i*columns)-1-r]);
printf("\n");
for (i=(columns-r-2); i>=r; i--) printf("%d ",array[((rows-r-1)*columns)+i]);
printf("\n");
for (i=rows-r-2; i>r; i--) printf("%d ",array[(i*columns)+r]);
printf("\n");
r++;
}
}
int main()
{
int numbs[16];
int i;
for (i=0; i<16; i++) numbs[i]=i+1;
PrintArrayClockwise(numbs, 4, 4);
return 0;
}
It should work with arrays of different sizes, both square and not. I didn't check it thoroughfully but it should be a good starting point.

This works perfectly! I have not yet understood how it works though but will think on it.
I was thinking on the idea to print the top row of the matrix then rotate the matric anticlockwise while removing the top row and printing the next top row and so on. But then I needed a function to rotate the matrix anticlockwise, which was not easy to implement when you consider you have to eliminate the top row as well. Your code is much simpler and very neat. I still have to understand it fully though. What do you think about my idea. Can you explain a little bit of your code.
Thanks a lot for sharing

Happy to be of help.
About rotating the matrix, it would take more time and more space, so I think it's not a good solution.
Yeah I know that my code wasn't that readable, C pointer math can be hellish...
It works by using a single iterator on rows r. This iterator goes from the first row (0) to the middle row ((rows/2)-1).
First I print the row pointed by r:
for (i=r; i<(columns - r); i++) printf("%d ",array[(r*columns)+i]);
then I proceed printing the rightmost column, starting from the last item I printed for row r:
for (i=r+2; i<=(rows-r); i++) printf("%d ",array[(i*columns)-1-r]);
I continue with the lowest row, which is printed right to left:
for (i=(columns-r-2); i>=r; i--) printf("%d ",array[((rows-r-1)*columns)+i]);
and finally with the first column, bottom to top:
for (i=rows-r-2; i>r; i--) printf("%d ",array[(i*columns)+r]);
With each iteration r grows by one. You will see that it's used in all the for loops, in order to move them towards the centre of the matrix one row and one column each.
Hope it's more clear now, if you think it would help I can rewrite this using distinct row and column indexes on the array, in order to make it clearer.

Thanks for explaining. I got the idea. This is a beautiful logic but it also requires some arithmetic and pointer skills If you could implement it in general arrow notation, that would be great. But of course not required
You are absolutely right, the rotate array matrix approach would be too much waste of time and computationally expensive.
I think this is great logic. I would not have seen it unless it was implemented.
Thanks again. I greatly appreciate your help
BTW Brave for implementing it in such a short amount of time!

No problem, here is the version with separated row and column indexes:
#include <stdio.h>
void PrintArrayClockwise(int array[][4], int rows, int columns)
{
int r = 0;
int rh = rows / 2;
int i;
while (r < rh)
{
for (i=r; i<(columns - r); i++) printf("%d ",array[r][i]);
printf("\n");
for (i=r+1; i<(rows-r); i++) printf("%d ",array[i][columns-r-1]);
printf("\n");
for (i=(columns-r-2); i>=r; i--) printf("%d ",array[rows-r-1][i]);
printf("\n");
for (i=rows-r-2; i>r; i--) printf("%d ",array[i][r]);
printf("\n");
r++;
}
}
int main()
{
int numbs[4][4] = {{1,2,3,4},{5,6,7,8},{9,10,11,12},{13,14,15,16}};
PrintArrayClockwise(numbs, 4, 4);
return 0;
}
Unluckily there's no way of passing a bydimensional array to a function without indicating the second dimension, at least none that I know of (but my ansi C is VERY rusty hehe). It sure can be done with int** anyway.

Thanks again! I appreciate it. I am definitely a fan of your programming skills. How much of experience do you have in programming btw. You have personnel contact?

Huh well thanks, you are definitely overvauling me hehe.
I'm into programming ever since I was 11 (started with a Philips game console which could be programmed in a kind of pseudo-assembler, then a year later I passed to a C64 and so on - typical for my generation), and have been working as a software engineer ever since 1989. Quite some time I'd say. :P
Don't get me wrong, but I won't be giving my personal contact in a forum. I've nothing against you in particular, but it's simply not good practice!
If you ever need any more help post here. If I'll be able to help I'll gladly do it, or someone else will. Besides, forums are good also for other people, who can learn by reading the answers to your questions.

Good to know a little bit about you. I actually looked at your webpage on codeproject but there was not much there except that you are from Italy  Well thanks for the little background. Codeproject is my resource for technical questions so I will definitely post here if i need any help.
Thanks again.

Hi
I want to copy needed dlls into an autorun CD that runs a VC++ 2008 exe
I don't want to install the Redistributable Package.
I tested it with dependency walker and copied all needed dlls for MFC app, but it did not worked!
(but I do it easy for VC++2003 exe!)
What other thing I must do?
Thanks

This is all due to the horribly designed side-by-side crap Microsoft started pushing with Windows 2000 (though it didn't really work until XP.) With SxS, you have to put your DLLs in the correct install spots (meaning let Microsoft's installer do it.) There are other solutions, but I've forgotten the rules. Here's one article on the subject (I neither endorse or condemn this article--I breezed through it):
http://69.10.233.10/KB/cpp/PrivateAssemblyProjects.aspx[^]
Do searches on "side-by-side" and/or SxS with MFC and DLL and you will start getting hits [on the nightmare Microsoft created.]

You need to add a manifest to the app (either as a separate file or in the application resources) that tells Windows to look in the application folder for the C runtime libraries. See the Deploying Visual C++ library DLLs as private assemblies section on this page[^].

What is the C++ syntax for "typeof(string)"? I'm patterning after the following line from SourceGrid sample #14.
SourceGrid.Cells.Editors.ComboBox cbEditor = new SourceGrid.Cells.Editors.ComboBox(typeof(string));
I'm trying to setup a SourceGrid text editor in C++. I don't know how to make the constructor in the following statement.
SourceGrid::Cells::Editors::TextBox^ textEditor = gcnew SourceGrid::Cells::Editors::TextBox(???);

Into C++/CLI typeof(Something) goes to Something::typeid.
You should post this kind of questions into Managed/ C++ CLI forum.It's native coding forum.
Life is a stage and we are all actors!

Thanks, this works...and I'll try harder to deal with the concept of being managed when I use this stuff.
String^s="";
SourceGrid::Cells::Editors::TextBox^ textEditor =gcnew SourceGrid::Cells::Editors::TextBox(s->GetType());

HI,
I we go to Control panel->Network Connections we can see all the network addaptors present in the system. If we double click and connected network adaptor it will show us a status dialog box for that connection.
I am trying to open that status dialog through my application which is written in C++ using win32 programming concept.
Can any body has any idea? How to acheive this?

Do you need to InternetGetConnectedStateEx ? and also see Showing Dial-up Connection Status Window[^].
