how to open external files through rcp application,but every time opening a
new file will startup a new rcp application.
i hope to startup only one rcp application when opening more than one
external files at more times like UltraEdit
what can i do?
thanks!

>> I think you need to register your app and a particular filetype with
Windows to get this done.
>> Once Windows notifies your app to open the file, then it is upto you to
handle it like UltraEdit.
i.e. seee if an instance is already running. If so add a new tab
Else startup the app

Please correct me if i am wrong



Cheers
Arun
