Get option at command line

[PBogger]

I would like to know if it is possible to get an option given at the command line for a GUI program. For example i would like to load different images depending on what the user provides when the executable is run. If

Code: Select all

myapp.exe bw

is given i want to load the images in Data/bw And if

Code: Select all

myapp.exe retro

is given i want to load the images in Data/retro. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

PBogger

Hi,

and welcome PBogger

Code: Select all

For i = 0 To CountProgramParameters() - 1
  Debug ProgramParameter(i)
Next i

Doesn't matter if it is a console or GUI program.
