Opening a file without OpenFile Dlg

[bnhshallow]

hello, I have made a dialog based text file editer for my friends a while back, and now it is getting annoying that the user has to open the file they want from an open file dialog box. What I need is to just double click on the file i want to open from the desktop, and it will open my file editer and make it open the file that was clicked on. (Like a .txt file with notepad.) I already know alot about registry, the problem is that i dont know how to make my program pick up the filename and put it into a variable.
Any help would be appreiciated.

When an associated file is double-clicked, the filename comes across as part of the lpszCmdLine parameter passed into the WinMain function. In an MFC dialog app, this parameter is stored in a member variable of your CDialog-derived class (I can't remember offhand what that variable is called, but it's rather obvious once you start looking through the members of your class). Try looking in there.
