Starting my app with command line arguments 1

[Eldaria]

Is it possible to use command line arguments for an application that I design?

The reason for this is that I want to make a program that I can start with command line switches.

So for example:
Myapp.exe Would start the application in hidden mode.
Myapp.exe /c Would start the app in Config mode.

You get the idea...

the reason for this is that I need to make a program that is going to be started by the Windows sheduler do what it is supposed to do and then shut down, and by default it will use a previuos saved configuration.
But I should have the possibility to start the app in configuration mode. Eldaria

You certainly can. When you are calling the program, add all of the appropropriate switches to the command line before executing the Shell or eqivalent function.

CmdLine = "Myapp.exe /c"
Shell CmdLine

From within MyApp, to extract the values of the command line switches, take at look at the Command$ function. Good Luck
