GetAppFiles

GetAppFiles Get information about files selected in the Finder

#include <SegLoad.h> Segment Loader

void GetAppFiles( index, fileStuff );

short index ; specifies which file to query

AppFile *fileStuff ; address of a 264-byte AppFile structure

GetAppFiles obtains the filename, type, and volume of one of the files

selected by the user when the Finder started your application.

index specifies which file you want to query. It should range from 1 to the

fileCnt value obtained through a previous call to CountAppFiles.

fileStuff is the address of a 264-byte AppFile structure. Upon return, it

contains information about the index-th file selected when the Finder

started your application.

Notes: When a user double-clicks a document whose FInfo.fdCreator field (see

GetFInfo) contains your signature, your application will begin executing.

At that time, you should call CountAppFiles and use GetAppFiles to

obtain the information needed to open that document.

In the event that the user selected two or more of your documents, and then

selected Open from the Finder's File menu, you should call GetAppFiles

several times and open each of the selected documents. See CountAppFiles

for an example.

Note: The files are indexed in the order the user selected them.

See AppFile for a description of the information returned by this call.

GetAppParms returns a handle to a block of data that contains this same

application file information - in a slightly different form.
