Re: EnableShellOpen() for windows mobile

OK, that's all fine. Where do you associate the .cod extension with Waaves.Image? You know, this part:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cod]
@="Waaves.Image"

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")]"
