[RESOLVED] Command Line to the .exe and the shortcut ?

[some1uk03]

Hello,

Is there a way to pass command line arguments on the actual .exe file and NOT its shortcut ?

VB6 has Command() function that returns command line arguments passed to an executable.
For sample code just search forum - there are many out there.

yea.. the Command() function returns command line arguments.. BUT im not talking bout that.

Im saying, you cannot assign arguments IF the file is not a SHORTCUT.. only SHORTCUTS can have command line arguments assigned and i need it on the actual .exe.

Not sure I understand...

Wouldn't the following be what you're after?

Shell "c:\myprogram.exe arg1,arg2,arg3"

As you see that isn't a shortcut - you're actually shelling the program itself.
In your app on form_load (or sub main) get those args and parse them.
