Show File in Explorer?

[Randy Walker]

I can open the Windows Explorer to the path I want but how to make it highlight an item in file list? That is the question. As an example if you search for a file using "Everything", right click an item and select [Open path] it will open the Windows Explorer with that item highlighted. How do they do that?

Code: Select all

file$="c:\windows\regedit.exe"
ShellExecute_(0,"open","explorer","/select,"+file$,GetPathPart(file$),#SW_SHOW)
