What is a DCX file

DCX files mostly belong to XnView by XnSoft. DCX is a multi-page image file format often used by document and fax management software. A DCX file consists of a header and a set of bitmap images stored in PCX format. DCX multi-page image files have image/x-dcx MIME type and image processors such as GIMP, XnView, and PhotoShop can be used to view these images. Visual FoxPro, a database programming language and management system, saves database containers in DCX files. DesignCAD, a 2D computer-aided design software stores some kind of data in DCX files. The information used to initialize data controls for a service such as JavaBean and Webservice in JDeveloper, a software development program, is saved in DCX files. JDeveloper uses the contents of a DCX file to identify the Oracle Application Development Framework model layer data control classes that allow a client software to interact with the business service of an application.

How to open DCX files

DCX format details:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our analysis of the DCX files produces the following result:
