Having a pointer for the commandline... 1

[XPPROGRAMMER]

Hello,

when programming windows applications, why is it important
to obtain a pointer to the CommandLine -- before you
register the class for the graphical window?

thanks for the help.

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you post some code from your WinMain function?

Hello,

I am programming windows-based appilcations and using
microfocus Net Express COBOL compiler. The call to the
win32 function "WinMain" would pass to my application
the needed Startup values -- which includes the pointer
to the CommandLine parameter. Case in point:

call winapi "WinMain" using
hInstance,
hPrevInstance,
lpCmdLine,
nCmdShow
retuning status-code
end-call.

thanks.

The lpCmdLine is a pointer to a string containing any command-line arguments that get passed to your program.

If you don't use or expect any command-line parameters, you can ignore this parameter.
