Hi,
I would like to register a new file type into the PPC registry and have two
questions:
1. How can I do it during the installation process (what entries must be
made to .inf or .ini)? I am using eVB with the standard application wizard.
2. How can I access the registry (create, change and read entries) in eVB?
Thank you!

What you need to do to register file types is the following:

Under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT you have to add the file extension with a default
value, e.g.

.cpl (default)cplfile

Using the name specified in the default key (in this case cplfile) you
create another key in under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT with the following keys and
values:

Shell
Open
Command (default)ctlpnl.exe %1


I've never used eVB so I don't know if the remote tools are available in the
development environment, but this is what you would do in eVC 3.0: To access
the registry you would make use of the remote registry editor (to be found
under the Tools menu.

Surely this is not a complete answer to your question, but I hope it helps
you a little further.
