Re: [Dev-C++] How to use ShellExecute?

When responding to the list - remember to respond to all, or your posts
won't reach the list...

Anyway, while you seem to have a build error, your post only shows a
warning about missing declaration of ShellExecute.

If you do:
grep --recursive ShellExecute
in your include directories, you will notice the file shellapi.h.

It might be an idea to make sure that you have a line:
#include <shellapi.h>
somewhere at the start of your source file.
