I program using Visual C++ 2008. MFC Application.
I was creating a program to open a Media (.avi) file. The default association of avi files is the Windows Media Player. Now in the program I want to load a button that when clicked will open the specified avi file using the VLC Media Player installed.

I would highly appreciate if an example code is provided.

For Instance :-
Video File Location : D:\My Videos\ABC XYZ.avi
VLC File Location : E:\Program Files\VLC Media Player\vlc.exe

Please provide a OnButtonClicked Function for the above Instances.

Thanks in advance.

(I don't want to do that). If suppose i do it. how do I open the file using the VLC Media Player when the default association is Windows Media Player. Thats the problem.
Assume I shift the video to the same directory as vlc.exe

E:\Program Files\VLC Media Player\ABC XYZ.avi
and
E:\Program Files\VLC Media Player\vlc.exe

I still cant get to open the video using VLC.

If I just run the video it opens normally with Windows Media Player. The basic thing I want to know is how to run it using VLC Media Player)

(oh... and yes, the program that I'll make is on (say) Desktop, i.e., not in the same directories above)

I'll Highly Appreciate if you please provide a sample code.
Thanks
