Hello ZhaoKai,

Thank you for the follow-up.

Hi,

Yes it works well with the native application since many years.

I joined a quick video to show you how it works.

- The .IVL is on the desktop and I show that it's only a text file.

- Because of the setting of the registry, when I double click on it, it open our software.

- Once open, our software read what is inside the .IVL and (in this example) open a specific document.

You already have the setting for the registry in my previous post and the function called in PB to read the .IVL

Hope you'll have a better view of how it works.

Regards.

Hello guys,

Thanks for the response but I will try to clarify what we do and how we work.

Our application send a reminder's email to employees for doing some job. Join with the email a file.IVL with some data (eg : FILE.ini M 40 1 10011000 D I-PO-ABC-003 1 0 0). As you can see, the file.IVL is dynamic and a new one is generate for each need.

When the employee double clic the .IVL, our application is open and then read the file.IVL(with path) to know what to do (enter in a specific window and start an action).

The way we set to open the .IVL is with registry :

reg add "HKCR\.IVL" /v "" /t REG_SZ /d Software_IVL /f
reg add "HKCR\Software_IVL " /v "" /t REG_SZ /d "Raccourcies du client Software" /f
reg add "HKCR\Software_IVL \DefaultIcon" /v "" /t REG_SZ /d %AppData%\PBApps\Applications\server\Software.exe /f
reg add "HKCR\Software_IVL \shell\open" /v "" /t REG_SZ /d "Open Document" /f
reg add "HKCR\Software_IVL \shell\open\command" /v "" /t REG_SZ /d ""%AppData%\PBApps\Applications\server\Software.exe" -r "%1"" /f

So, in the Event PFC_Open, we do :

if as_commandline <> "" and trim(as_commandline) <> '-r' and trim(as_commandline)<>'DebuggerTool=true' then
ls_arg = of_get_argument( as_commandline )

if ls_arg = "-r" then // raccourci
of_raccourci( as_commandline )
elseif ( ls_arg = "-f" ) then

is_isoini = of_setini( as_commandline ) // " pour of_get_argument
// dans of_setini
ls_arg = of_get_argument( as_commandline ) //Pour enlever le ini de la commande -f précédente
else
// commandline non reconnu
end if

if as_commandline <> "" and trim(as_commandline) <> '-r' then
ls_arg = of_get_argument( as_commandline )
if ls_arg = "-r" then // raccourci
of_raccourci( as_commandline )
end if
end if
else
is_isoini = of_setini( '' )
end if

Let me know if you need more details.

Regards.

Hi Romuald,

Does the software.exe refer to the exe of the PowerClient application? Is the issue that you cannot be sure about the application path? You can use GetCurrentDirectory ( ) to get the application path and then set the registry in the PowerClient application.

By default, the application path is %appdata%\PBApps\Applications\%your application%
For example:
C:\Users\appeon\AppData\Roaming\PBApps\Applications\localhost_pctest

If I have misunderstood, please provide a simple PB case and the detailed steps to reproduce the issue, thanks.

ZhaoKai

Hi Romuald,

Have you tried the following?

1. Create a .reg file (e.g. myfile.reg) to make the necessary registry changes.

2. Include the .reg file plus your .ivl file in the External Files section of the PowerClient project.

3. Add a command to the Run Options tab's Preload event section:

reg import myfile.reg
