It's here:



      if (Is_WinNT) {		       		//In WinNT/2000/XP...

      Reg_Set(106, "cmd /c ")			//  use cmd command to be able to avoid DOS option

      } else {					//In Win95,98

      Reg_Set(106, 'start "" ')		//  use start with double quotes added to fill the parameter "title",

      //   (important since the filename is in double quotes when calling application below!)

      }

      Sys(`|@(106) "|@(121)"`,SUPPRESS+SIMPLE+NOWAIT)		//Open file in application



In fact Windows itself determines the standard application when a known
file is "executed" by means of "cmd" or "start".

Christian,

Great, you really helped me out !


This was only a model problem. My real problem was this.


Suppose, by mistake I have loaded a .zip file into Vedit. So,I would like to load it in its application.

To do this, all I need is a very simple adaptation of the code that you have just given me. Here it is:

:OPEN-CURRENT-ZIP:
Reg_Set(106, "cmd /c ") // use cmd command to be able to avoid DOS option
Reg_Set(110, PATHNAME)
Sys(`|@(106) "|@(110)"`,SUPPRESS+SIMPLE+NOWAIT) //Open file in application
Return

I did try to run this subroutine and it seems to work for me ! That is to say, it opens my current .zip file in its application.


In other words, now I can treat the case of a current .zip file, similarly to the way you treated the case of the current .html file with the {File, Open (More..), Preview current file in browser} command.

In fact, I have a hunch, that a Vedit Guru could enhance your Opencurs.vdm to treat each of these two cases with the
{Preview current file in browser}
Vedit command.


Thanks again,
