opening files created by my app

[Thierry Arbellot]

Hi Christian,

When you double-click on the file, an apple event is send to the app
You just have to process this apple event.

hereafter is some code sample:

on appleEvent pClass, pID, pSender

   switch pClass & pID
   case "aevtodoc"  -- extract the path to the file to open
     request appleEvent data
     put it into theFilename  -- this is the file to read
     -- put here your code to read the file
     break
   default
     pass appleEvent
   end switch

end appleEvent

Hope it helps

Thierry
