How Cedric Moonen says, in Command Line you can start your application with parameters like this
c:\>myprog param1 param2 param3 --> Where "myprog" is your application's Executable file
You can add more than 3 parameters 
In Windows-Mode you can set the parameters like this :

the "-game" is for example a parameter

I get the impression that you want to start your application from another application that you've written as well.
You should use ::ShellExecute() for that, or ::CreateProcess(). Both of these functions have a formal parameter where you should provide the desired command line arguments for the newly launched application.

i guess i should have been a little more clear(5:30am). i know how to launche the program with parameters.
my question is how do i set the parameters in the program
i.e.
if(lpCmdLine != 12345)
{
return 0;
}
how can i set the variable for lpCmdLine to accept

Well, perhaps you should get some sleep because you're still not very clear...;)
Feralrath wrote: my question is how do i set the parameters in the program
How can you ask this question if you say that you know how to launch the program with parameters?
Is this question about the program that is supposed to be started, or about the program that starts the other program?
Feralrath wrote: how can i set the variable for lpCmdLine to accept
I interpret lpCmdLine as the string containing the command line arguments in your program that is supposed to be started. You don't assign anything to this string, you should parse it to extract the arguments from it.
If this is about how to compose the string containing the command line arguments in the program that starts the other, you can use ::sprintf() for that.
See here[^] for info about how to use ::sprintf().

the question is about the application being lauched, how to i set it so that i will not launch when double clicked only when the correct command like argument is given?
|

You can't prevent the program being launched. In the program being launched, validate the command line parameters. If they aren't correct, simply exit immediately.

Gary summarizes it quite well: you cannot prevent the application from being launched.
Think about it this way:
You have put the logic that determines whether the application is allowed to run or not inside the application itself. How could that piece of code make any decision without being executed?
Perhaps this is not really what you want, but then you might consider the design of your solution and where to put the logic that allows the application to start.

If you're still hung up on accessing the command line, use argc and argv (or if it's a GUI app, __argc and __argv)

thank you all for tying to help, but was just haveing a brain meltdown last night.
bool run = FALSE;
if(strcmp(lpCmdLine, "string")==0)
run = TRUE
if(!run)
{
return 0;
}
i guess it i just couldn't see what was stairing me in the face.

XXXXX; //ComboBox change to Comboedit box

Use ModifyStyle.

You can use for example of ModifyStyle(0,CBS_AUTOHSCROLL);

Hi All
I have made one console application in VC++.Now i want to add different colors for stdout and stdin.
I have used the following code.
hStdOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hStdOut , &ConsoleScreenBufferInfoOutPut);
//Setting color for stdout
ConsoleScreenBufferInfoOutPut.wAttributes = FOREGROUND_GREEN;
FillConsoleOutputAttribute(hStdOut , ConsoleScreenBufferInfoOutPut.wAttributes , ConsoleScreenBufferInfoOutPut.dwSize.X*ConsoleScreenBufferInfoOutPut.dwSize.Y,
origin,&dwrite );
SetConsoleTextAttribute(hStdOut ,ConsoleScreenBufferInfoOutPut.wAttributes);
//Setting color for stderr
hStdErr = GetStdHandle(STD_ERROR_HANDLE);
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hStdErr , &ConsoleScreenBufferInfo);
ConsoleScreenBufferInfo.wAttributes = FOREGROUND_RED;
FillConsoleOutputAttribute(hStdErr , ConsoleScreenBufferInfo.wAttributes , ConsoleScreenBufferInfo.dwSize.X*ConsoleScreenBufferInfo.dwSize.Y,
origin,&dwrite );
Using this code I am getting the color for stdout as red.
But I have chosen green color for stdout.
Can anybody help me in this regard?
SetConsoleTextAttribute(hStdErr ,ConsoleScreenBufferInfo.wAttributes);

Can it be done with the code that I have mentioned.

This is a very broad request. Can you be a bit more specific?

Which are?
To get information for any file, just use GetFileAttributes().

Hi everybody,
is it not standard in MFC that a MDI Child keeps the focus on a (for example)textbox if the user switch
to another window (for example from the application to the Explorer) and re-opens the application ?
I use a SetActiveView(this); ... than the focus is still at the control where i left the application.
At the Destructor i make a SetActiveView(NULL); before the Window closes
Thanks
