Opening a folder from an edit box

[beier]

what i wanna do is, to be able to write a custom path in an edit box, and then open that folder clicking a button..
I tryed
ShellExecute("EXPLORE", "open", string , NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
the string is a widestring that i have saved the path to.

it would probally be bedst if I could take the path directly from the edit box, instead of using a variable.

Im pretty new to this, but i'll be glad if someone would tell me what to do to make it work.

In one of my own programs, I find:
[tt]
STARTUPINFO i={sizeof(i)};
PROCESS_INFORMATION p;
CreateProcess
(
0,((String)"explorer \""+dir+"\"").c_str(),
0,0,0,0,0,0,&i,&p
);
[/tt]
where "dir" is the path of the required directory.
