Shell command filename variable.

Hello,

I have programmed an application to combine tiff image files into 1 tiff file. The program works if I hardcode the filenames into the application.

I also have created a shell command which allows me to launch the application by right clicking on a tiff file and clicking a customized option in the context menu.

My question is, how do I pass the file name of the item I right clicked into a variable which can be used in my c++ code? Also, if I select multiple tiff files and then right click, is there a way to pass all 3 into an array?

Thanks in advance.

If you have your entrypoint main function defined as the following:

Code:

---

int main (int argc, char* argv[])

---

Then the argv array contains a list of strings which contain your parameters.

argc is how many parameters were passed to your program, including the executable name i believe.

Thank you, that is extremely useful.
