> As Jon Verworn has observed, when you right click on a map or a

>
> The Open statement uses topic "RunMacro" with the DDE string
>
> "gis_ui.dbd,G30 Open Filename,%1"
>
> This DDE statement uses the default user interface (gis_ui.dbd) and
> executes the GISDK macro "G30 Open Filename" with the filename as
> its first argument.
>
> With Windows Explorer Tools-Options, you can modify file types and
> add new commands in addition to the "Open" command, e.g. a "Print"
> command such as Jon suggested.
>
> In general the macros available in gis_ui.dbd are not documented.
> You will have to trust me when I say it doesn't contain a macro to
> do exactly what you want to do: First, open a layout and second,

> Macro "Open and Print Layout" (FileName)
> Layout = OpenLayout(FileName, )
> PrintLayout( , )
> CloseLayout(Layout)
> endMacro

> "myprint.dbd,Open and Print Layout,%1"
