Delphi Registry entries default...

[RTollison 0]

with my registry edit program in place and working, a user ask if i could set the default one that is not "OPEN"

here is the structure of the registry entries

abc_auto_file

   shell

      option 1

         command

      option 2

         command

      option 3

         command

Is there a way to have option 3 be the default and not option 1.

is there a way to have the option NOT be sorted. like have option 3 as the top one.

 

I have done searches and found default for file type but nothing for my situation. i would like to allow users to decide the order and which one is default to when just double clicking a file type.

In the "shell" key, set its "(Default)" value to "option 3".  See Specifying the Position and Order of Static Verbs

That worked but with a caveat the "option #" registry name cannot have spaces in them. you name them without spaces but in there default you show the name you want to display.

abc_auto_file

   shell (Default) "option_3"

      option_1 (Default) "Option 1"

         command

      option_2 (Default) "Option 2"

         command

      option_3 (Default) "Option 3"

         command

 

Remy, I see your posts all over the place and just wanted to say thanks for all you do.
