Link to PDF does not launch associated app

[docu-track99]

Is there a way to tell the activeX control to open the application associated with pdf instead of opening the pdf in the control. Just like the way a link to a word or excel document would open the associated application word or excel. The problem we are having is that the link causes the control to open a new document without going through our open logic.

You can try to use code like this:

Code: Select all

Private Sub CoPDFXCview1_OnEvent(ByVal nType As Long, ByVal Name As String, ByVal DataIn As Variant, dataOut As Variant, ByVal Flags As Long)
    If nType = PXCVA_EventTypes.PXCVA_OnDisplayPrompt Then
        If Name = "Prompts.ConfirmLaunchFile" Then
            Call CoPDFXCview1.GetProperty("Prompts.ConfirmLaunchFile.FileName", dataOut, 0)
            Dim intResponse As Integer
            
            intResponse = MsgBox(dataOut, _
                vbYesNo + vbQuestion, _
                "Open File?")
                
            Dim sLanch As String
            If intResponse = vbYes Then
                sLanch = "Yes"
            Else
                sLanch = "No"
            End If
            Call CoPDFXCview1.SetProperty("Prompts.ConfirmLaunchFile.UserChoice", sLanch, 0)
        End If
    End If
End Sub
