Add file association to Basic4ppc source code files (on the device)

[Erel]

The attached code adds the required registry entries to associate Basic4ppc source code files (.sbp) with Basic4ppc device IDE.
Run SetFileAssocation from the device IDE.
First it checks if Basic4ppc is installed in the default location:
\Program File\Basic4ppc
If it isn't in the default location, the program will stop and will not change the registry.

* Basic4ppc version 5.80 is required for this application.

You can change the source code to associate other file types.

That's strange. I don't need to do this. Version 5.50 installation didn't associate *.sbp files with B4PPC (and I never associated them manually) but after installing 5.80 they were associated without me doing anything!

On the device? Including the icon?

Sticks foot in mouth again by reacting without looking carefully! I was referring to the desktop. My device does associate, but not with an icon, so I must have done that myself for the previous versions although I can't remember doing it.

After adding \SD-MMCard to program path works also on my device - thanks

Does it work on the desktop too, or is the Desktop DLL only a dummy?

(Would like to use it for my own programme)

You should already have the Registry dlls and a help file explaining their use in your libraries folder. Look in the drop down help list.

That was too easy, thank you :-)
