Opening a text in notepad in MFC

Just as the title stated. How do I open a text in notepad in MFC?

I used the CFileDialog to open up a "Save As" dialog box like so :

TCHAR szFilters[] = 
    _T ("Text files (*.txt)¦*.txt¦All files (*.*)¦*.*¦¦");

CFileDialog dlg (FALSE, _T ("txt"), _T ("*.txt"),
    OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, szFilters);

if (dlg.DoModal () == IDOK)
    m_strPathName = dlg.GetPathName();

After I have the path name in m_strPathName, is there anyway to directly open up the txt file that had been saved in a Notepad?

I have another button OnShowData and this is the code inside.

ShellExecute(NULL, _T("open"), m_strPathName, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);

Is there any other method that I could do this??
