C++ Winmain commandline arguments?

[reynolds]

I have an W32 application that runs through Winmain. How do I pass command line arguments straight into the program? I can do it with int main(int arg...) but Winmain won't. Do I need a constructor?

[SupremeSpod]

What a TWAT!

Have you never written a windows C++ program before?

You've done nothing but post for help, I hope you're not getting paid for this tulipe!

Try MSDN!

@#%$ you

sorry i ain't got my head up bill gate's up arse you knob.

and your answer is...? its alright slagging off when you haven't got the answer.

SS, you post something on here about Java and rip the pi.ss likewise.

Reynolds,

Writing C++ Windows apps is back in the dark ages.

Get yourself into C# and .Net and knock up these things in minutes, not weeks/months.

Join the 21st century mate.

Or alternatively outsource the whole dev to India for a fiver.

re

dimprawn as i said

"you post something on here about Java and <i'll> rip the pi.ss likewise. "

i am an expert in Java - which is up to date and better than C#. i want to learn more C++ because of hacking reasons - modern languages are too safe.

and another thing supremespud, i'm posting on here so search engines will parse it and it will help others learn (ala experts-exchange.com). again ss, thanks for your very helpful answer.

command line args answer..

in the main method:

INT WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow )

LPSTR lpCmdLine represents the whole command line argument in bytes.

And another way is...

// initialize MFC and print and error on failure
if (!AfxWinInit(::GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, ::GetCommandLine(), 0))
{
// TODO: change error code to suit your needs
cerr << _T("Fatal Error: MFC initialization failed&quot << endl;
nRetCode = 1;
}
else
{
// your code here

}

now kiss my arse you prick!

As for ripping into me re: Java I wouldn't touch that tulipe with a bargepole!

Rubbish

Thats wrong Spod.

The constructor :

INT WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow )

provides the answer - "lpCmdLine" is the variable.

you are the arse. now get back to your drag and drop software my friend.
