Hi all. I'm trying to arrange for my embedding application to be set up as the default handler for an application-specific filetype when linked in the content viewed in the embedded browser (does that make sense?). I'm sure there are ways to do this with code changes, but it seems I should be able to do this just by editing mimeTypes.rdf to include an entry for my filetype.
This seems to work on the mac platform, assuming I have filetype and creator entries for my application's files set up properly with the OS. In this instance, I have "useSystemDefault" set to TRUE, and my application will get an ODOC message when the link is clicked. However, on Windows this does not appear to work. My application is registering the appropriate DDE entries, I believe (associating itself with the file extension), but my application does not get any kind of "open document" message. However, if I view the HTML file w/ the link in Firefox, I do get prompted to open the file with my application (however, I can't set it to automatically open this filetype with the chosen application?) Can anyone help clarify how things need to be set up to get this to work? Am I heading down the right path? I'd like to avoid hard-coding an application path in the file if possible (which seems like a common way to set up helper applications).
