Tim, let me rephrase. I'm not trying to display the shortcut dialog, only reproduce the behavior that happens when you click 'Find Target'. For instance, I've generated a file and I want show the user that file in explorer.

You could do that by finding the Explorer window, trolling through to find the list control, find the entry, simulate right-click, etc., but it would be an undocumented pain in the rear. However, everything that's in those dialogs is exposed through the shell API. Why don't you just display the dialog yourself? -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
