    I dont get what you want to do, I have to take a English class this autumn 😆

    if you want extract icon from a file then there are many source with google and with your registry you can specify what type of file can be open with what programm

    example .battlestart when you click on file.battestar is alway open with my app 😆

    well the story goes like this:
    i have made a simple word processer program that saves files with a specific file extension, so i wanted to be able to show an icon (icon of the main gui) next to the file (like e.g. word etc). i also wanted to open any of of these files when someone double clicks it 😀

    seems like i m not far from getting them (but i m still not able to open a file when its double clicked tho*)….here is a link if someone else wants to learn it:

    [/url]

    its always good to take english classes 😀
    thx anyway

    if you want file.battlestar has explorer icon change this line

    szKeyValue = szPath + “,0”;

    to

    szKeyValue = “C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe,0”;

    all file.battlestar will have internet explorer icon, I dont know why it didn’t associate with my app test icon

    for your information if I know many sites?, I just use three webs site for my programming reference the one you posted and codeproject.com and codeguru.com

    thx alot battlestar

    if you go to the site that i have posted, in that example the guy does file type association by creating a c# setup project and then he sets up file extention, program and so on. then in the Form_Load event he checking if a file was double clicked…i tired that but didnt work.

    he also has a method (as you have for file type association) but he is not using it i think…!!!

    which method is better, yours or the one in that example?
    is it possible for you to show me file type association by creating a setup project…like in the example?

    i have attached the example…it didnt complie though

    noob

    normally I prefer to do the thing programmatically and dont like to use GUI setting, you can ask the author of that article if you cannot figure it out how to do that.

    I dont read his article, just look quickly the pic 😆 I prefer to use my method. simple and quick, just a few line to deal with the registry
