Hi there,

How to get argc and argv with winmain ?

Thanks!

This comes out of an ancient copy of VC++:

int PASCAL WinMain(hinstCurrent, hinstPrevious, lpCmdLine, nCmdShow)

HINSTANCE hinstCurrent; /* handle of current instance */
HINSTANCE hinstPrevious; /* handle of previous instance */
LPSTR lpszCmdLine; /* address of command line */
int nCmdShow; /* show-window type (open/icon) */


The WinMain function is called by the system as the initial entry point for a Windows application.

Parameter Description

hinstCurrent Identifies the current instance of the application.
hinstPrevious Identifies the previous instance of the application.
lpszCmdLine Points to a null-terminated string specifying the command line for the application.

I've implemented it about 5 days ago. Thanks for your feedback anyway. Best wishes.

Well, how did you do that?
I want to use the getopt module in order to retrieve the arguments out of the command-line. How can I do that?
As I see it, there are 2 options:
1. Get the argv/argc and use getopt.
2. Use some mechanism on Windows that I don't know about.
