I have an application I have made, and it creates a "file" which is just a file that contains text with a custom extension on it (.dck)... When I build my installer for the program I will associate the extension .dck with my program, so when you double click on the file it opens my program.

My problem is that I don't know how to say "Do stuff with the file when my application is opened by double clicking on the file"

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You don't know.

Are you asking how to setup a file association in windows so that once your application is installed, windows will recognize these files as belonging to your app? Interesting file extenstion choice btw.

The application will be started with a command line argument. You need to process that argument.

There is an item in VB Command$, that hols the entire command line.

If you have a routine (on a menu pick, or whatever), trigger that routine with the filename you find in the command line.

By the way, please read Doug’s link (above), "Read this if you want to know how to get a correct reply for your question," regarding choosing a subject line; I believe it will make a lot of sense to you.

Thanks a lot guys :D
