Ok i have a program made in MMF. And when the user double clicks a file i want this program to automatically open it.

I can get the actual exe to run but thats it.

Any example files?

I dont have an example but I can tell u.

Ok, you do this first, then you do that, then you put that there, and this here, and you finish of by pressing that button.

Associations are stored under HKCR\ and HKLM\softtware\classes\. I'm sure there must be an extension for messing with the registry, just make sure you know what you're doing. Actually I think I have a vague memory of an extension that could make associations, but I could be imagining that. Search the CT forums maybe.

Once the association is done, clicking on a file should pass its name and path to your app in the command line, so use the special object to retrieve that and you're set.

Or you could do it the standard way, which is right click on the file, "open With..." and choose your program.

But that only works for your comp, obviously.

You could work on discovering (research) how the 'open with...' effects the system/registry. Then using the Registry Object for MMF, you could repeat the same thing, only based more spacificly on your application.

I just fucking said what it does. Look under HKCR\ and HKLM\software\classes\.

Also using Commandline$, you can get the filename of the file that has been opened using this.

(it will come out as ""C:\program.exe" "C:\filename.???"" when done right)

I think the browser or file object have a 'open file directly' action.

According to his post he has already managed to make the file associated with his program, and he wants to know how to get what file was opened... right?
