Part 1: My question is how do I map the double click to the method in my app that opens the file? App opens but does not call the routine that reads the data in from the file... i.e. how do I "map" that? Part 2: Can I have more than one file type that I set some sort of flag or field in there.. and then call different routine to load different type of file... even though both types would have the same registerd file type/file ending... _________________ Currently using: Windows XP Pro SP3 Real Studio 2011 Release 4.3 Enterprise and Mac OS 10.7.4 Real Studio 2011 Release 4.3 Enterprise (finally also compiled on Mac) Top charonn0 Post subject: Re: Load data file on double click of the filePosted: Fri Oct 05, 2012 12:19 am Joined: Mon Apr 02, 2007 2:08 am Posts: 914 Location: San Francisco, CA, USA Generally, the path to the file that's double-clicked is passed verbatim in System.CommandLine. e.g. Quote:C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.exe C:\Users\Bob\Documents\somedoc.xxx Since only the file path is given, it's up to your app to determine what sort of file it is and whether or not it can/should open it. _________________ Boredom Software Top amitavak Post subject: Re: Load data file on double click of the filePosted: Fri Oct 05, 2012 1:14 am Joined: Mon Jan 02, 2012 1:51 am Posts: 301 Location: India If you want to open a file with your application by double clicking it. First you have to map that file type with your application so that when you double click on that type of file it will open with your application and In the "OpenDocument" event of the "App", you will get the file you double clicked. I think you already mapped the file type with your application. torrid wrote:My question is how do I map the double click to the method in my app that opens the file? You can just call the method that opens the file from the "OpenDocument" event of the "App". For the part 2, I did not understand it properly. _________________ Amitava Karan Real Studio 2012 Release 1 Windows 7 (32 bit) Mac OS X Version 10.7 Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 3 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
