Double-Clicking on a document's icon will now open the app
// Once all that is done, then we'll be able to get this event
via a Finder drag and drop.
// We instantiate the main window implicitly,
Dim f as FolderItem
Dim w as TextWindow
w=New TextWindow //create new instance of TextWindow
'Double-Clicking on a document's icon will now open an empty
document of our app
'So far so good
// and pass the folder item to the same call that the main window
uses when we drag a file to it directly.
' And here is where the problem lies —
f.OpenStyledEditField w.TextField
w.Document=f //assign f to document property of TextWindow
w.title=f.Name //assign name of f to Title property of w
‘An exception of class NilObjectException was not handled.
'The application must shut down.
Yes, f is nil at this point. Use GetFolderItem or whatever to
instantiate a folderitem. OpenStyledEditField is a method of
FolderItem, ie., it doesn't return a folderitem. So you need to
create the folder item before calling it.
Best,
