Code:

d=createOpenDialog(nil)
d.InitialDir=[[c:\windows\addins]]
if d.execute() then
showMessage('You selected '..d.FileName)
else
showMessage('No file selected')
end
d.destroy()

Code:

ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "explorer.exe", "/select,C:\\a.txt", NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL)

That's what I want，But this code doesn't work in the cheating engine

NO NO,What I want is very simple. When you open a folder, you do not need to click. I want to automatically select a file by code (just select it, no need to open it)

Code:

os.execute("explorer /n, /select, C:\\a.txt")
