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.

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.
