Re: EnableShellOpen() for windows mobile

This is an export of the '.cod' file association. The DefaultIcon works, my application is launched when clicking a file.cod but still does not open the associated file. Are you sure that I do not need to add anything to the program itself?

Thanks again,
STN

============= REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Waaves.Image] @="WaavesMobile.Document"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Waaves.Image\DefaultIcon] @=\\Program Files\\WaavesMobile\\WaavesMobile.exe, 0

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Waaves.Image\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Waaves.Image\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Waaves.Image\shell\open\command] @=""\\Program Files\\WaavesMobile\\WaavesMobile.exe" "%1""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Waaves.Image\shell\open\ddeexec] @="[open("%1")]"

Do an Export of the section of the registry associated with .cod files with
Remote Registry Editor, as what you have there doesn't tell me what I need
to know to diagnose what's wrong.

Thanks for your help Paul.
I tried to add manually registry keys using "Remote Registry Editor" (from
MS Visual Studio 2005 package) but I still have the same issue.
Do I need to add something into the application itself to let it know that
it can receive a file when it is launched (like EnableShellOpen)?

Here is what I put in the Registry:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cod] isce_codfile

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\APPLICATION\WaavesMobile.exe\shell\open\command]
"\Program Files\CIRA\WaavesMobileSP\WaavesMobile.exe" "%1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\isce_codfile\Shell\Open\Command] "\Program
Files\CIRA\WaavesMobileSP\WaavesMobile.exe" "%1"

Do I miss something?

The file format is a proprietary image format with '.cod' extension
The application is a viewer for this format, it is a Smart Device
application from Visual 2005 template in C++. The plateform is Windows
Mobile 5.0

Thanks in advance,

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,
