Darrin,
I take it the complex piece of code is not in mapBasic? If it is you can call any subroutine with paramters by using the ByVal reference. Sub YourSubProcedure(ByVal input1 as String, input2 As String)
I have run mapbasic programs from the command line from VB by writing an ini file first, and then just calling the mbx from the command line (this will allow other machines to run the mbx if needed). The first thing the Mapbasic program does is read the ini file for its data.
You can use the windows API's to read and write the ini files.
No doubt we will be able to do this with xml docs once the tools are in, but for now there are more tools to read and write ini files.

Hello,
We have a complex piece of code that generates a button pad. When the user
then selects a button, it calls the appropriate subroutine procedure which
then prompts for a few input parameters.
Is there a way to call such a subroutine (procedure), while passing the
input parameters, from the command line? Maybe using switches or something?
For example:
Run testprogram.mbx /subroutine1(input1,input2)
I'm not really asking about the passing of parameters but more the act of calling a subroutine from a command line. Any help?
Thank you!
Darrin
