wxWidgets Discussion Forum

In my program I use wxFileDialog to select where I will be saving, and to specify the extension of the save file, and wxFile to work with actual save content using the I/O functions.

Once the file is saved, I would like it to have a custom thumbnail and when clicked open the .exe of my application. I did a google search and came across "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... l/handlers" which I think is how to go about achieving this.

But I was wondering if there was something similar implemented in wxWidgets?

Thank you in advance

Try wxMimeTypesManager::Associate

I've never used it myself and AFAIK there is no sample showing how to use it, so you may have to experiment a little.
