' 模块名称: mOpenFolderAndSetFileFocus
'     作者: 唐细刚
'     时间: 2010-08-22
'     功能: VB6调用API打开目标文件所在文件夹且选中目标文件
' 注:
' 由于调用 Explorer.exe /select 方式会使系统产生多余的 Explorer.exe 进程
' 所以还是API来实现较好,速度也有优势,不知道是否低碳? O(∩_∩)O~

          OpenFolderAndSetFileFocus = True
       End If
       Call SHFree(lngPidl)
    End If
End Function

我在VB.NET上使用,修改代码如下:

'打开文件并选中指定文件
   Private Declare Function SHCreateFromPath Lib "shell32" Alias "ILCreateFromPathA" (
   ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long
   Private Declare Function SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems Lib "shell32" (
           ByVal pidlFolder As Long,
           ByVal cidl As Long,
           ByVal apidl As Long,
           ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long
   Public Sub OpenFolderAndSetFileFocus(ByVal Folder As String)
       Dim lngPidl As Long
       lngPidl = SHCreateFromPath(Folder & vbNullChar)
       SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems(lngPidl, 0, 0, 0)
   End Sub

'调用
   OpenFolderAndSetFileFocus("目标文件路径")
