Activex exe

[butterfly]

Hello Everybody,

I need to know how to write an exe , either a standard one or an activex exe, that takes parameters when calling it from an asp page.
Can it be done? How?

Thank you in advance.

Do you mean like a command line parameters, or properties of an object.

Command Line parameters are easy. You simply use the Command$ keyword.

So if you wanted to pass a help parameter as "-h" you would read it using the following:

'==============================
'To use Command, you program has to
'be started from Sub Main.  This is because
'the Command generally plays a role in 
'deciding what forms are or are not shown.
'So place this code in a module.
'==============================
 
Sub Main()
   If Left$(Command$,2)="-h" then
        msgbox "help command was called"
   Else
        msgbox "no parameters'
   end if
end sub

This could be compiled into an exe, and called like: project1.exe -h

If you have multiple parameters, you usually use the Split command to split on the delimiter like "-" in my example, then loop through the array.

If this isn't want you wanted, then I can try again later.

Hope this helps.
