Hi,

Is there exist an easy way to access to command line parameters passed to GUI_APP?

What I need is to pass these parameters to 3rd party library init function.
E.g.
SuperLibInit(argc, argv);

Thanks.

It seems there is no way to access that variables directly, but you can get command line parameters into string vector using CommnadLine() function:

const Vector<String> &cmd = CommandLine();
int cnt = cmd.GetCount();
const char **argv = new const char*[cnt];
	
for(int i = 0; i < cnt; i++)
    argv[i] = cmd[i];

SuperLibInit(cnt, argv);

If the above code doesn't help (it doesn't comply with the C++ standard Rolling Eyes

) you might want to have a look at my recent posting "ArgcArgv – use argc and argv under Ultimate++!" (Home � Extra libraries, Code snippets, applications etc. � U++ users applications in progress and useful code snippets, including reference examples!)
