- Is this thing on??(Check 1-2-3, Check :) )
- I'm reposting something I've posted before because I still don't have
- an answer.
-
-
- What I'm trying to figure out is how file associations are stored
- internally in OS/2 2.0. In version 1.3's OS2.INI, I was able to do a
- WinQueryProfileString on PM_ASSOC_FILTER with a key of "*.TXT". This
- retrieved the name of the program to execute when an icon for a file with
- the .TXT extension is double clicked. The OS2.INI file is set up quite
- differently in 2.0.
-
- I can set up the association OK in WPS, so that when I double click on the
- text file's icon(under the drives folder) I get the correct executable to
- run.
-
- How can I find, from within my C code, the name of a program that is
- associated with a specific file extension in 2.0?
-
- According to any INI viewers I've tried, the file extension seems to be
- associated with a number.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
