Hi,
For file asscoiation, do you need to create a sub or function or somthing for your program to load up the file you chose.
I have added the strings to the registry... you know the "C:\myapp.exe %1"
but this doesn't open my program or load the file into the program.
I have a sub called 'LoadPRAYFile' which is used in the load function on the program, do I need to put anything that relates to that in the registry?
Thanks
Is it possible to change the extension to one thing but have your program recognise it as another?
E.g: I have a file with the extension ".cod" ("MyTest.cod") but really it's an rtf file, I want my program to recognise it as an rtf file even though the extension is ".cod"
the API would will do this Nicky .I am looking for .NET way.
another API :(
This seems to lauch an application based on file extension, I want to launch a file based on what the file actually is, regardless of what the file extension is, is that possible?
I think it's possible :o . Adding your own ext to the registery would make it global ext .When you just click it , the app associated with that kind of file make is run in that app.
I already have this code, and I have done that, but it doens't open my program?
do I need to set a sub or somthing in my program, so when it's opened by the a file being clicked that it puts the file data into the correct places?

after you finish working on a file within your app , you must save it then. When you try to run it , the registry is aware of what app can recognize this file(if you set up this routine in the registery).Now,you need to build a method that reads file content and open the appropriate workspace(actually it depends on what sort your app is).I've tried this once .I created a game that saves where the user has stopped .Then run the main app and open the file and reads the content(it's long method).
