For use particularly in connection with legacy 16-bit or other applications to provide the ability to open standard file types using Windows file associations. Opens the file in a new thread so that the calling program is not waiting for the opened document, file or link to be closed in order to continue. ShellExe.exe is a 32-bit executable. Simply call the ShellExe.exe with a file name (include the full path if not in the current subdirectory). Windows will load the file based on the file association in place just as if clicking on Start --> Run and opening the file. Example: If a spreadsheet file has an extension of XLS, it will open with whatever program is associated with that extension (see links below that provide guidance concerning how to change a file association). After loading the file, ShellExe.exe will then close automatically. Available for use in any programming environment. In a legacy TAS 5.1 environment, see example below.
