ShellExecuteEx, PDF-Datei, Windows 8, Metro-PDF-Viewer -> kein Handle

[DeddyH]

Aus dem MSDN zu ShellExecuteInfo:

Zitat:

hProcess

Type: HANDLE

A handle to the newly started application. This member is set on return and is always NULL unless fMask is set to SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS. Even if fMask is set to SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS, hProcess will be NULL if no process was launched. For example, if a document to be launched is a URL and an instance of Internet Explorer is already running, it will display the document. No new process is launched, and hProcess will be NULL.

Note ShellExecuteEx does not always return an hProcess, even if a process is launched as the result of the call. For example, an hProcess does not return when you use SEE_MASK_INVOKEIDLIST to invoke IContextMenu.

Sieht so aus, als müsste man damit leben.
