today I'm thinking about how to deal with commandline parameter,
and finding that ultimate++ currently using WinMain with LPSTR lpCmdLine parameter.

I think it's better to using unicode via wWinMain with LPWSTR lpCmdLine parameter. I change the macro a little, becoming

C:\upp\uppsrc\CtrlCore\Win32GuiA.h

#define GUI_APP_MAIN \
void GuiMainFn_();\
\
int APIENTRY wWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE, LPWSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) \
{ \
	UPP::Ctrl::InitWin32(hInstance); \
	UPP::coreCmdLine__() = UPP::SplitCmdLine__(UPP::ToUtf8(lpCmdLine)); \
	UPP::AppInitEnvironment__(); \
	UPP::AppExecute__(GuiMainFn_); \
	UPP::Ctrl::CloseTopCtrls(); \
	UPP::Ctrl::ExitWin32(); \
	UPP::AppExit__(); \
	return UPP::GetExitCode(); \
} \
\
void GuiMainFn_()

It works fine for me.
Do you consider about this? I think it's a improvement in internalization.

by the way, is there any official way to get access to argument of execute commandline? I don't know if coreCmdLine__ is the interface for library user.

There is CommandLine() function, which returns Vector containing the command line arguments, stripped of the zeroth argument (the executable name, which has its own method GetExeTitle()). Also this method is aware of charset, so probably the utf8 should be handled in there rather than in wWinMain.

since windows has the function CreateProcessW, it's necessary to handle parameters in unicode: WinMain has commandline encoded in local charset, which may not be able to present some chars: they can be out of current charset. While wWinMain can properly handle the situation: the parameters are stored in wchar_t[].
