FAQ.How can I get the item string for a given file creator?
Sub pullNativeDocs(aCREA As string) Dim result as Integer Dim m, k as memoryBlock Dim f as folderItem Dim newType as string Dim anIcon As picture Dim ofs as Integer Declare Function GetFileTypesThatAppCanNativelyOpen Lib "Carbon" (appVRefNumHint as Short, appSignature as OSType, nativeTypes as Ptr) as Short Inline68K("701CABFC") Declare Function GetDocumentKindString Lib "Carbon" (docVRefNum as Short, docType as OSType, docCreator as OSType, kindString as ptr) as Short Inline68K("7016ABFC") listBox1.deleteAllRows m = newMemoryBlock(1024) result = GetFileTypesThatAppCanNativelyOpen(Volume(0).MacVRefNum, aCREA, m) if result <> 0 then listBox1.addRow "<Not found.>" return end if do if m.byte(ofs*4) = 0 then exit else newType = m.OSTypeMBS(ofs*4) listBox1.addRow newType k = newMemoryBlock(64) result = GetDocumentKindString(Volume(0).MacVRefNum, newType, aCREA, k) if result = 0 then listBox1.cell(ofs,1) = k.pString(0) ofs = ofs + 1 else listBox1.cell(ofs,1) = "(unknown)" end if end if loop End Sub
