• Shell Execute Error
• Shellexecute Error Code 2

Shell Execute Error

ReturnVal = ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, 'open', myURL, vbNullString, myURLPath, 1)The Error I get is a small message box that pops up with the title 'copymov', a exclamation triangle, and the message 'EFAIL', and an 'OK' button. The ReturnVal is 42, which I have no idea where to look that up.When I press the 'OK' button (or alternatively press the 'X') on the message box my application goes ahead and opens just fine with the file I am pointing to.Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this eye sore? I reall don't want to distribute code that gives erroneous errors.

Shellexecute Error Code 2

Option ExplicitPrivate Declare Function ShellExecute Lib 'shell32.dll' Alias 'ShellExecuteA' (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As LongPrivate Const SWSHOWNORMAL = 1Private Sub Command1ClickDim ret&ret = ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, 'open', ';, vbNullString, 'c:', SWSHOWNORMAL)End SubNote: check values of both myURL and myURLPath before executing: just place a breakpointer on that line.Although, to format your code here @VBCITY - use brackets ' and not ' characters. If Right(myURL,3)='txt' ThenmyURL=replace(myURL,'file:///',')End ifReturnVal = ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, 'open', myURL, vbNullString, myURLPath, 1)I no longer get the error just before notepad opens.I do, however, continue to get the error with html files. If I attempt the above procedure removing the 'file:///' from an html file IExplorer does NOT open. I guess some good news is I do not get any errors either.

The return value stays the same.I really would like to have the code determine the default application to open whatever file I am pointing to with myURL. No matter what the format is for the file being pointed to.BTW - thanks for helping:thumb. I have tried using the aforementioned in my procedure to attempt finding what the error is.

However, because the ShellExecute is successful, I get a return code greater than 33 (ie. So, the error I am seeing is not in the list.If I may expound, all of the suggestions so far are in the case that the code fails.

I assure you, programmatically, it works fine, the associated file opens in the appropriate application.The problem is that before the app actually launches I get a message pop-up complaining of some 'EFAIL'. I press 'OK' and I get the file just as advertised. What I am wanting to do is eliminate the stupid pop-up.I found I can eliminate at in the case of a text file by removing the prefix; 'file:///' from the URL: 'myfiletest.txt' so that the ShellExecute sees; 'c:datamfyiletest.txt'.In the case of html, if I remove the prefix 'file:///' nothing happens, no error, and no launch of the default browser. In my case, the html is a local file. I want to use a browser to look at the contents.

So, the variable 'myURL' could either be a local text file, or a local html file. I don't have control over what the filetype is. Which is why I really like the idea of using ShellExecute, because then it should not matter. I get the correct association either way.If you look above, I provided two examples of the contents of 'myURL'.Just so I understand ShellExecute. Earlier I thought the lpDirectory was the path to my file.

On second look, it seems that the lpDirectory is the path to the application?BTW - take a look at my last post, there is an attached image of the error I am seeing (which doesn't seem to be a valid error).

有时我们在右键点击-Edit With NotePadd后，会 出现 'ShellExecute failed(2): Is this command correct?' ，如下图：解决方式如下：1、打开注册表，在 HKEYCLASSESROOT 下搜索 'notepad.exe'。 找到有 Title = 'Edit with Notepad' or 'Edit with &Notepadd的CLSID，将其全部删除，2、新建一个.reg,内容如下：Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00HKEYCLASSESROOT.shellOpenWithNotepad@='Edit with &Notepad'icon'='C:Program Files (x86)NotepadNotepad.exe'HKEYCLASSESROOT.shellOpenWithNotepadCommand@='C:Program Files (x86)NotepadNotepad.exe' '%1' 保存，双击执行该reg即可。.
