loading file of unspezified type

[Unregistered]

Hello,

here is the situation:

I'm using the Loadmethode as discribed like TXTextControl.Load FileName[, Offset[, Format[, CurSelection]]]. This Methode needs the format option. If the format option is not set the txcontrol internal format is used. With the wrong format option the methode fails.

Sometimes I don't know exactly what format the file I want to load is. Is there some possibility to check the fileformat before loading?

Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Michael Fratz

Only by opening the file is binary and having a look at what is there. Means that you will need to examine to file headers of your files and assign a type depending on the header

Hello,

this is a workaround. Thank you.

I'm just looking for the TX Text Control format. I just want to see if it is TX Text Control. Then I would load it with the format 3 and otherwise just leave it. But it seems that the header differ depending on the version. Within the TX Text Control format the header changend from version 6 to version 10?

Thanks,
Michael Fratz
