Programmatically selecting file in explorer

Question

In my application I can programmatically open explorer and select a file using the following code:

void BrowseToFile(LPCTSTR filename)
{
    CString strArgs;         


        

Answer 1

Try the '/n' option. This will, however, open a new folder - perhaps already opened. But, at least, the file you specify is selected.

/n,/select,

SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems always fails in my case and I can't figure out why. Btw, you must call CoInitialize/CoInitializeEx before calling this one.
