Windows MFC taking in a parameter
Author
I made a new program using the MFC library, and I noticed that having a main isn't nessecary, all I need to do is create an object of type CWinApp and it's constructor will startup the program.
But I need my program to take in a parameter. In console programming you could do this using:
int main(char* args);
How is this done using CWinApp?
Basically my program is this:
You may have to check the m_lpCmdLine member of you CWinApp object. Of course, you'll have to parse this command line since all the program arguments are in a single LPTSTR. Not very good, but since it is you only chance to get the command line...
HTH,
[edit]
Actually, your main() should be
This is forbidden when creating a MFC program (not sure it will even take care of this, since the program entry point is the WinMain() function, and not the main() function).

Its actually extremly(sp?) easy to get the command line arguments. MFC defines two global variables
__argc which defines the number of command line args (the first one being the app name
__argv which is an array of char* containing the command line arguments.
So to check the command line
That should help you solve your problem

void CAppCore::DealWithCommandLine(void){ // Do we have any arguments? // The first argument is the app name, so we need two if (__argc < 2) return; // Just use the first DoSomethingWithTheFirst(__argv[1]);}That should help you solve your problem

Alright, when a file is associated with an exe file, is the parameter passed the path and name of the file?
MFC has a class that handles the command line options, CCommandLineInfo. In InitInstance for your CWinApp, add these lines:
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);
Calling ProcessCommandLine (cmdInfo) will take care of the standard flags.
If you need custom flags, then derive your own class from CCommandLineInfo, and override ParseParam to handle the custom flags.
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);

As far as I can tell, when you double click an file and it launches your app, the command lines is passed the full path name of the file. The path and file name are _not_ passed as seperate parameters.
Thats the assumption that all my MFC apps make and they work fine
