It was really of great help to find the default application. I am having one issue with setting the default application. I tried these two function
OSStatus LSSetHandlerOptionsForContentType ( CFStringRef inContentType, LSHandlerOptions inOptions ); Or OSStatus LSSetDefaultRoleHandlerForContentType ( CFStringRef inContentType, LSRolesMask inRole, CFStringRef inHandlerBundleID ); But in both first argument is CFStringRef inContentType and I am not able to figure out what will be the value of this for my application. Can you help me on how to find it or to set it.

For finding out who is "owning" an extention you should use the Launch Services (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/LaunchServicesReference/Reference/reference.html#/ /apple_ref/c/func/LSGetApplicationForInfo). And to make your application the default for that extention, it is the same service... but another method (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/LaunchServicesReference/Reference/reference.html#/ /apple_ref/c/func/LSSetHandlerOptionsForContentType) > > Its an urgent project requirement, so please reply as soon as > possible. > > Thanks, > NIKHIL > Filip van der Meeren fi...@code2develop.com > DISCLAIMER > ========== > This e-mail may contain privileged and confidential information > which is the property of Persistent Systems Ltd.
