Opening a Folder in VC++

I've recently started learning VC++ and it's coming along quite nicley, I've now been given a little task by my boss to add a button to an excisting Incident report program.

All the button needs to do is open a new explorer window and open the folder selected in the incident report program. There isn't a deadline for it, it's just to assist in my learning.

I'm not asking for anyone to do it for me, i just need a few suggestions on how to do this so i'm looking in the correct direction?

Thanks

 

I am not able to open favorites folder or sub folders under it in EDGE browser

Hi Rodney,

We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.

• 
  Did you checked whether you are able to see the favorite’s folder under your users?
  
• 
  Are you able to see the Favorites bar on EDGE browser?
  
• 
  Does the EDGE browser close/crashes only when you try to open the favorites folder or any other scenarios?
  

Note: By default the favorite’s folder will be present under your user’s folder. Follow the below steps to check if you are able to view the favorites.

• Open the ‘C’ drive on your computer. If your OS is installed on any other drive, open that one.
• Under the ‘Users’ section, locate the name of your system’s main admin account and open its folder.
• Locate the folder named ‘favorites’ and open it. In short, the path for this folder becomes as follows (assuming the system drive to be ‘C’ and your account name to be ‘Hamza’).
  
  C:\users\hamza\favorites\

I suggest you to refer to the section Import favorites in the below link on how to Import favorites in Internet Explorer.

Use favorites to save websites you like

Note: You may try to browse to the favorite’s folder as suggested in the above steps if the favorite’s folder is present.

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.

 

Opening a Folder in VC++

I've got the button working now, it opens the folder which I've stated.

I'm now looking at reading a string the user inputs, from this string I want to be able identify and open the folder using the button.

Is this in the range of someone at intermediate level?

Furthermore, is there a function like equalsIgnoreCase in c++ and would this be viable for doing what I need?
