Hello,
If I create a text file on the desktop from MyApp and I want it to
be opened by Microsoft Word as soon as it is created, can that be
done.
I know how to create the file on the desktop already.
I also have (f = folderitem)
f.MacCreator = "MSWD"
f.MacType = "text"
The file is created on the desktop but I have to double-click on it
for it to be opened.
Can it be opened automatically as soon as it is created?
Please help.
Thanks.
Lennox.
If your file is created as a Word document, you can use f.launch.
Else, you can use an AppleEvent:
dim ae As AppleEvent
ae = NewAppleEvent("aevt","odoc","MACS") 'Tells the Finder to open
an item
ae.ObjectSpecifierParam("usin") = GetUniqueIDObjectDescriptor
("appf",nil,"MSWD") 'Parameter "usin" means "using"; the app in which
to open the item. The right part of the "=" looks for the app whose
MacCreator is "MSWD" (i.e refers to Word).
ae.FolderItemParam("----")=f 'The item to open
if not ae.Send then
MsgBox "Well, the Finder has quit."
