You can't pass parameters to a main, as far as I am aware, but you can pick
up the parameters when mapInfo was run. Eg "c:\mapinfo\mapinfo.exe
c:\mapinfo\myapp.mbx john johnspassword". (Although this does have the
effect of leaving a nasty stain on the MRU).
The API to do this is:
Declare Function GetCommandLine Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetCommandLineA" () As
String

Subject: MI - Command line parameters?
Hi all,
I think I know the answer to this one already, but I have learned never to
pre-empt the knowledge of the list!
Is it possible to pass command-line parameters to an MBX? e.g. "Run
Application
Myapp.MBX 1 Hello 3.5"
As a bit of a dabble I tried "parameterising" the Main sub:
declare sub Main(byval param1as Integer)
... but MapBasic didn't fall for it.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Cheers,
David Jerrard.
