This value can be NULL if the operation is not associated with a window. lpOperation [in] Pointer to a null-terminated string, referred to in this case as a verb, that specifies the action to be performed. The set of available verbs depends on the particular file or folder. Generally, the actions available from an object's shortcut menu are available verbs. For more information about verbs and their availability, see Object Verbs. See Extending Shortcut Menus for further discussion of shortcut menus. The following verbs are commonly used. edit Launches an editor and opens the document for editing. If lpFile is not a document file, the function will fail. explore Explores the folder specified by lpFile. find Initiates a search starting from the specified directory. open Opens the file specified by the lpFile parameter. The file can be an executable file, a document file, or a folder. print Prints the document file specified by lpFile. If lpFile is not a document file, the function will fail. NULL For systems prior to Microsoft Windows 2000, the default verb is used if it is valid and available in the registry. If not, the "open" verb is used. For Windows 2000 and later systems, the default verb is used if available. If not, the "open" verb is used. If neither verb is available, the system uses the first verb listed in the registry. lpFile [in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the file or object on which to execute the specified verb. To specify a Shell namespace object, pass the fully qualified parse name. Note that not all verbs are supported on all objects. For example, not all document types support the "print" verb. lpParameters [in] If the lpFile parameter specifies an executable file, lpParameters is a pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the parameters to be passed to the application. The format of this string is determined by the verb that is to be invoked. If lpFile specifies a document file, lpParameters should be NULL. lpDirectory [in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the default directory. nShowCmd [in] Flags that specify how an application is to be displayed when it is opened. If lpFile specifies a document file, the flag is simply passed to the associated application. It is up to the application to decide how to handle it. SW_HIDE Hides the window and activates another window. SW_MAXIMIZE Maximizes the specified window. SW_MINIMIZE Minimizes the specified window and activates the next top-level window in the z-order. SW_RESTORE Activates and displays the window. If the window is minimized or maximized, Windows restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when restoring a minimized window. SW_SHOW Activates the window and displays it in its current size and position. SW_SHOWDEFAULT Sets the show state based on the SW_ flag specified in the STARTUPINFO structure passed to the CreateProcess function by the program that started the application. An application should call ShowWindow with this flag to set the initial show state of its main window. SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED Activates the window and displays it as a maximized window. SW_SHOWMINIMIZED Activates the window and displays it as a minimized window. SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE Displays the window as a minimized window. The active window remains active. SW_SHOWNA Displays the window in its current state. The active window remains active. SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE Displays a window in its most recent size and position. The active window remains active. SW_SHOWNORMAL Activates and displays a window. If the window is minimized or maximized, Windows restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when displaying the window for the first time. Return Value Returns a value greater than 32 if successful, or an error value that is less than or equal to 32 otherwise. The following table lists the error values. The return value is cast as an HINSTANCE for backward compatibility with 16-bit Windows applications. It is not a true HINSTANCE, however. The only thing that can be done with the returned HINSTANCE is to cast it to an int and compare it with the value 32 or one of the error codes below. 0 The operating system is out of memory or resources.
