Thanks to Ken and Sarah for their help on the following.
As always, much appreciated.
Terry...
According to the documentation 'setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.abc\",
"def")' should allow you to double-click a file with a '.abc'
extension and have it open with application 'def'. Seems
straightforward but I just can't get this to work for my Windows
application. I'm not that familiar with Windows so I could be missing
something (or doing something terribly wrong) but the only way I've
been able to get the double-click launch thing happening is to go to
the fileTypes tab in the folder options control panel in Windows (XP),
locate the entry for my application (which gets created OK using
setRegistry) and add an 'open' action that explicitly points to my
application. If I don't do this, I can't even get the 'open with'
option when I right-click a file to work. I can 'browse' to locate my
application OK but it just doesn't open and isn't added to the list of
programs. I've tried deleting the registry entry (both from within Rev
using the deleteRegistry function and via the 'folder otpions' control
panel) and restarting my computer before going through the motions
again - all to no avail.
On a related note. Is there any way to get rid of the list of
'recommended' programs that appears in the 'open with' menu when you
right-click a file. I inadvertently added a couple of programs to this
list for my application when I was trying to get all of this working
and can't seem to shake them off, even when I delete the registry
entry.
Cheers,
Terry...
