Re: EnableShellOpen() for windows mobile

Your entry in the registry which makes the association does not provide a
command line parameter to the application where the path and name of the
file to be opened will be placed by the shell, probably. You've got some
entry that looks a bit like this:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\<whatever>\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\"\\<exepath>\\<exename>.exe\" %1"

I think that the %1 might be missing.

Possibility #2 is that, although %1 is there, your application is not
handling it correctly because of spaces in the file path. You might need to
put quotes around the name "%1" or you might need to adjust your program to
use the whole command line as the file name.

Possibility #3 is that your program was already running on the device, if
it's a Pocket PC, this is particularly likely, and so the name of the file
doesn't get sent in the same way. If you're more-specific about what
program, what file, what the device is, what the state of running programs
are, we might be able to help more...

Hi folks,

I am looking for the equivalent of CWinApp::EnableShellOpen( ) on windows
mobile 5.0 platform. I simply want to be able to open a file with my
application when selecting it in the Explorer.
I did the file type association in the install program (using
InstallShield) but when I select a file in the Explorer it only launches
my application and doesn't open the file.

What did I miss?
Thanks in advance,
