How to get creator application/default editor for a linked file.

Hi All,

How can we get creator application or default editor for a linked file. There was IEditFile interface in CS2. What can we use in its place in CS4.

I tried using CanEditResource() of ILinkResourceHandler and GetEditorList() of ILinkUtils, but none of them seem to work.

Any hint would be of great help.

Regards,

Jasmine Shaikh

If you know path to the file you can use LSGetApplicationForItem on Mac. On windows you probably need to deal with registry but if you'll search MSDN, then maybe you'll find desired library.

Hi All,

No replies.

I am back on this issue. Tried to search a lot, but didn't get anything similar to IEditFile to work on CS4.

Thanking in advance for your suggestions.
