[SOLVED] Send file to your App listed in SendTo context menu

Post by Randy Walker »

No problem putting a shortcut of my app into the context menu, but How to get my app to accept the file for processing? << That is the question. MY fingerprinter app really needs this facility:
https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=85190

If I right click a file, select sendto >Fingerprinter it does open the app but does not process the right clicked file, so this is the problem.

Anyone conquer this problem?

[EDIT] 08/28/24 -- problem solved THANKS to HeXOR for giving me hint about Programparameter()

Right click the file and use OPEN With
When Window ask to make it always say NO
Because your application can cypher any type(Image,text....)

Your app needs to handle ProgramParameter()

AHhhhh yes!!! Just what I was looking for and didn't know to look for. I searched "parameters" everywhere except in PB help. Silly (stupid) me.
Thank you HeXOR :)
