    Question Arguments in MFC

    What's up

    I'm trying to figure out how to retrieve arguments in a MFC program.

    In a normal console program you've got:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main (int argc, char *argv[])
    {
         cout << argv[1] << endl;
         system("pause");
         return 0;
    }
    and that would display something passed along with the file when it is about to be executed. Is there a hidden argv/argc in MFC? (I'm trying to pass variables to the program when it starts that could include /hidden or /off or /on or something along those lines..)

    Help will be greatly appreciated,

    Thanks in advance,

    You're CWinApp derived object has an inherited m_lpCmdLine member.
    Code:
    AfxGetApp()->m_lbCmdLine
    You can also use the Win32API call GetCommandLine(). Unlike argc/argv, the entire command line is in one string.

    or use ParseCommandLine() to access the CCommandLineInfo object.
