opening app by double-clicking some document
Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2007 1:21 pm
this is the same question RobertC asked. How to get some runrev made application to start and open some file when you double-click it (the file), on windows?
Hi BIX,
On Windows, it is much more difficult than on Mac OS X. You have to write scripts to store the correct file associations in the registry. I did this for a few clients of mine, who needed a good installer.
The easy way from a programmer's point of view is to simply doube-click the file and choose the correct application in the appearing dialog. Make sure that the checkbox "do this for all documents of this type" (or whatever it says) is checked.
This might help:
