Doesn`t work. The application runs but no text is loaded from the file - I have to load it via open dialog.
What`s wrong ? Everything is so simple that I don`t really understand... (maybe it depends on registry entries ?)

You have to have your program associated with the file type via the registry. There are numerous examples on the web about how to do this via code, or simply use the Open With (always use this program...) option in Explorer.

Cheers.
