I remember now that you can do this with the Revolution External v1, which implements a DDE client/server.

How do you go about intercepting a document open event in Windows, assuming you have a document type associated with a Revolution Windows stand-alone application?

On Mac you use an Appleevent handler to achieve this sort of thing.

I'm interested in not just detecting a document that caused the application to launch (e.g. user clicks on document which causes stand alone application to launch and process file) - I believe you can detect this by checking the $1 global parameter although haven't had any experience doing this myself. I'm also interest in detecting subsequent document open events, e.g. if user clicks on additional docs associated with the stand alone, how can I detect an intercept these events?

If there's no high level way of doing this I will just attempt to detect documents opening by intercepting preopenstack handlers.
