I do not know if I'm asking correctly, but I do not know where to start searching. I would like to register a custom protocol on windows just as some applications do. Example:
Where do I start my search? I imagine it is necessary to write in the windows registry but I do not know how to search about this specific case.
These protocols are called URI Schemas . You can create protocols for your project by using URI schemas in the Windows registry by navigating the path:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/
seu_protocolo_aqui/
(Default) = "URL:nome do protocolo"
URL Protocol = ""
DefaultIcon
(Default) = "aplicativo.exe,1"
shell
open
command
(Default) = "C:\Users\Kaizonaro\Desktop\aplicativo.exe" "%1"
Be where seu_protocolo_aqui the protocol you want to associate in URIS (such as mailto: , blablabla: without : ), and in the "protocol name" any name for Windows recognize in your application.
Let's put as in seu_protocolo_aqui to foobar , we'd call your application using the arguments like this:
foobar:ola%20mundo // be in %20 a space character
To get what was called in the ola%20mundo argument, just use the Command()
