You want to read up on Launch Services. That'll do what you want.

Hi Cocoabuilder,



Sorry if it's a dumb question; I can't seem to find where this might be treated in the docs.

I would like to display an 'open with…' menu in my application similar to that in the Finder.

To do this I would need to get a list of all installed applications which can handle a given kind of file.

But how…?

Is there an API that would be useful here?



Cheers,
Lach_______________________________________________
