I was fairly sure that there was actually an application event for file open events passed from the OS to the running application, but seem to have dreamed that up. It shouldn't be to difficult to add although might have some implications. Would have to be a filter event that can check the file name and then indicates if LabVIEW should further handle it (for LabVIEW known file types), or if it should be ignored (potentially handling it yourself). Ahh, it's super secret private special stuff: And seems to have trouble in some newer versions than 8.2! Although Ton says he got it to work in 2009 again.

Now I don't think it is completely fair to take what someone said during a presentation, and quote them out of context. But I just love this from Darren's presentation: If NI had a replacement for Project Providers that was documented and stable and all that, then I won't suggest anyone make a Project Provider plugin. Until then I say there is a time and place for them, just knowing the edge cases, documentation, and support issues. I think Darren's presentation does a good job of cautioning others.
