Launch Program AND Open Associated File on Target Machine

Hi,

I am able to create a setup package that properly associates custom control files with my application on a target machine. However, when I double-click on the control file, it only launches my application. I want to have a way to identify which file was double-clicked to launch the program and then have my program load this file. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? I suspect that it may have to do with "eventSender" properties in the "Form1_Load" function, but I haven't had any luck working this out.

Thanks,

JoeSixPack
