How to open a file by double clicking in an RUNNING exe built by LabVIEW

I am developing an applicationg using LabVIEW. But found some difficulties.
This is an editor, and I link this app to a certain file format.
So I hope when I double click this file, My exe will load it. This could be done by read application command line.
But if my exe is runing already, I double click the file, I could not get the latest command line information.
When the exe is running, How doule click the file to send some sort of info the this exe so the exe could open a new one.
How to do this in LabIVEW?
Solved!

Hi,
You have to make the Vi reentrant so that it does not share the same memory location:

Opening a file WITHOUT double-clicking

In Windows one can open a file from Explorer either by double-clicking or by hitting the Return/Enter key.
In Mac OS X I can only open a file by double-clicking it. So far, using the keyboard I can only rename it (when I hit Return), or delete it (if I press Command+Return).
Is there a keyboard shortcut for opening a file? I am a keyboard person and, sometimes, when I navigate from one folder to another, I would like to open the file without moving my hand to get the mouse.

It's Command-o, for open, of course. As you discovered, pressing Return is the handy short-cut to high-light the file for renaming.

Adobe X: Can't open multiple files by double-clicking

I have Adobe Reader version 10.1.0.534 running on Windows XP SP3. Once I have a .pdf file open, I cannot open additional .pdf files by double-clicking on their icon from within a folder or on my Desktop. I can only open them by going through the File>Open dialog in Reader or by dragging the icon onto the open Reader window. I can open the first .pdf file by double-clicking, just not any after that. This behavior is new in Adobe X.
Does anyone else see this?
Is this by design? If so, why? It seems to be an unneccessary annoyance and a deprecation.
Thanks

Hi Valerie,
What happens if you try to open the same files after launching Acrobat, by choosing File > Open?
Has anything changed since on your system since you were able to open Acrobat/PDF files by double-clicking?
For starters, please try repairing the Acrobat installation by choosing Help > Repair Acrobat Installation.
Please let us know how it goes.

Error opening JAR files with double-click

I have this problem while trying to execute a JAR file by double-clicking in Windows Vista Home: the JAR file never opens and it appears the following in the command line:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: C:\PATH_TO_FILE\JAR_FILE_NAME/jar
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: C:\PATH_TO_FILE\JAR_FILE_NAME.jar
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source)the strange thing is that I have the environmental variable CLASSPATH set to ".;" and while running from the command line as java -jar C:\PATH_TO_FILE\JAR_FILE_NAME.jar I have no problems...
Any idea?? Thanks in advance!

This was getting so frustrating I turned off FileVault and the problem went away. That's too bad, but there it is.

Off topic... - Open .class file on double click

Hi, I'm using windows and with the assoc and ftype commands in CMD i can make files open with a certain program and load some parameters. But I'd like to use the ftype command to open the file without the extension within.
Here is my example:
C:\Users\myUserName\Documents\Java>
ftype JavaClassFile=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\bin\java.exe %*And then :
C:\Users\Viktor\Documents\Java>Hi.class(same thing on double click)
I get this error, wich is obvious:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: C:\Users\Viktor\Docum
ents\Java\Hi/classSo how can I make it open with java and leave out the .class extension in the filename?

To be more accurate I'd like it to open
java Hiinstead of
java Hi.class

CS6 - can't open a file by double-clicking

upgraded to CS6 and now when I double-click on a jpeg or RAW file it will not open. All I get is a greyed-out Photoshop window. I have to go up to the Photoshop Tool Bar and go File > Open > ........ to open the file.

1. Are you using Windows/ Mac OS?
2. Check the filetype association to ensure the desired filetype is associated with Photoshop CS6 by default. If you upgraded from CS5 or earlier, you may want to force change your filetype association to Photoshop CS6 once for all filetypes you'd like to open with CS6
3. Do you have any dialog box (such as Open) open in Photoshop when you try double clicking a file from your explorer/ finder. In this case, Photoshop will not open the file when you doubleclick outside
4. If the prior solutions don't work, try resetting your Photoshop Preferences by following these instructions: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776

Opening a file by double clicking it

I have a table in which I have a list of some files. When I double click the file I have to open the file from a specified path. Presently I have written the following code which successfully opens the file.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL \""+fileName+"\"");
But the above code can be run only in windows. Is there any other way which is platform independent to open the files?

Well, with JavaSE 6 you could use java.awt.Desktop I think:

InCopy will not open InCopy file when double-clicking on file

A collegue is having trouble opening InCopy files. When
she double-clicks on an InCopy file she gets this message:
Missing required 'from' for event 'open'.
She can open files from inside InCopy by using the file : open command.
Any idea what she needs to do to fix her problem/

No, you are doing exactly the right thing. Open the inca file in the InCopy Assignments > Assignment Name folder. You may even want to delete the original package (or at least archive it) right after you open it to prevent opening it accidentally.
Like Bob said, sounds like some sort of internal Windows issue. Try reassociating the extensions with the program.
Or can you right-click and choose Open With?

Hello Yong,
Thanks for posting in our forum. Seems you've already tried lots of things, and I can see that those are all steps that reportedly have worked for others.
Here is one more thing that you might want to have a try:
Open Registry Editor
Go to the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\command
Highlight the key, select the (Default), select "Modify..."
from the pull-down menu and then enter the value below: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\EXCEL.EXE"
"%1" (include the quote marks)
Then OK your way out
Please have a try and feel free to post back.

Cannot open file by double clicking it

Since upgrading to 6.0.2 I can't open a file by double clicking it. I get "There was a problem sending the command to the program."
Also, clicking on a link in an email (Thunderbird) nothing happens.

Sorry, restarting the computer seems to have fixed it.

When I try to open an image by double clicking on it in Bridge, I get a message telling me to log in to Creative Cloud. I am running CS6, and the default should be to open files in Photoshop 6 or in Adobe Raw (if it's a Raw file). I don't want to log into CC since I am not a subscriber, and this means that I have to work around, and go back to Bridge, and tell it to open the file in Adobe RAW. However, this does not work for older psd files which for some reason cannot be opened in RAW. How do I return to the process of simply allowing RAW files to open automatically in Adobe RAW, and simply right clicking on the image in Bridge to bring up the option of opening it in Photoshop?

You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
Do this from the Windows Desktop:
If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".
