this works:
get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tst\","TestApp")this works:
get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TestApp\","TestApp document")this works:
get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TestApp\DefaultIcon\","C:\Program Files\TestApp\TestApp.exe,1")
[ Part of the last one above. This worked but I'm not sure what this is about:
"3) Create a subkey of HKCR\TestApp to hold the default icon for the application. The value used is the path to the application followed by a comma, followed by the index of the icon resource inside the application. MetaCard/Rev document icons are in the first position and I'll assume for this example that I have used an icon editor to change the icon in the first position of the TestApp executable:" ]
What is the first position? Anyway my icon appears now in the top of the window.
Now the big question!
This does not work the way I want it to:
"4) Create a subkey three layers deep in HKCR\TestApp to hold the command to open the application when the document with the ".tst" extension is launched. The path to the document is defined in the registry as %1. Any other info you want to pass to the application you can add to this line. The nice thing about MC/Rev is that you can create all these keys at once in a single command:
get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TestApp\shell\open\command\","C:\Program Files\TestApp\TestApp.exe %1") "
My guess is that I'm missing an on openStack handler that then opens the correct document if I call this "put $1 into theDocToOpen" kind of thing and then pass it to a file open handler.
So I probably answered my own question on this. I can't get my documents saved to display the MTML icon when they are created using the standalone app. They do open my standalone but as I said they don't load in yet. Is there a get setRegistry() that I can use to associate icons with my created .mtml documents?
I have selected this icon for the application and the documents created in the DB during creation of the standalone app.
I'm testing on Win XP pro, Rev 2.1.2 with a proper 766 byte icon.
Thanks for any help,
Mark
