Hi
I want my users to be able to double click a document icon and let it
be opened with my app in Windows.
Which way would you guys recommend?
I'm currently trying with the AssociateExtension method of the Windows
Functionality Suite. But for some reason it crashes my app when it
tries to create the folder (registryItem.addfolder)...
RS tech support didn't answer my questions, nobody seems to be
interested in the topic in this list, so guess I'll look for an
alternate method.
Anyone??
In the remote case that anyone wants to take a look at the method I'm
using, here is goes:
You could try something more like this: (I tested this with 5.5.5 on XP Pro)
dim theAppName as String
dim theExtension as string
dim exten as Registryitem
exten = new RegistryItem( "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" )
theExtension = "aaa"
theExtension = "." + theExtension
theAppName = nthField( App.ExecutableFile.Name, ".", 1 )
///add extension
exten = new RegistryItem( "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\" + theExtension)
exten.defaultValue = theAppName
///add handler
exten = new RegistryItem( "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\" + theAppName +
"\Shell\Open\Command" )
exten.DefaultValue = App.ExecutableFile.ShellPath + " ""%1"""
hth,
Brian
