Re: Getting params that are passed to my app.

That is true. I guess if they knew exactly what they were expecting they
could parse it themselves. I do this kind of thing:

void CMyApp::ParseCommandLine(CCommandLineInfo& rCmdInfo)
{
     for (int i = 1; i < __argc; i++) {
          LPCTSTR pszParam = __targv[i];
          CString csParam = pszParam;
          BOOL bFlag = FALSE;
          BOOL bLast = ((i + 1) == __argc);

          csParam.MakeLower();
          if(csParam == _T("-rx") || csParam == _T("/rx"))
               m_openMethod = OPEN_AUTO_SUBMIT_EXIT;
          else if(csParam == _T("-r") || csParam == _T("/r"))
               m_openMethod = OPEN_AUTO_SUBMIT;
          else if(csParam == _T("-bluray") || csParam == _T("/bluray"))
               m_bBluRay = true;
          else if(csParam == _T("-hddvd") || csParam == _T("/hddvd"))
               m_bHDDVD = true;
          else if(csParam == _T("-rvp") || csParam == _T("/rvp"))
               m_bVideoProtect = true;
          else if(csParam.Find(_T("-server")) != -1 ||
csParam.Find(_T("/server")) != -1) {
              CString cs = pszParam;
               int index = cs.Find(_T(':'));
               if(index != -1) {
                    m_csPassedInServer = cs.Mid(index+1);
                    m_csPassedInServer.Trim();
              }
          }
          else if(csParam.Find(_T("-port")) != -1 ||
csParam.Find(_T("/port")) != -1) {
               CString cs = pszParam;
               int index = cs.Find(_T(':'));
               if(index != -1) {
                    m_csPassedInPort = cs.Mid(index+1);
                    m_csPassedInPort.Trim();
              }
          }

          if (pszParam[0] == _T('-') || pszParam[0] == _T('/')) {
               bFlag = TRUE;
              ++pszParam;
          }
          rCmdInfo.ParseParam(pszParam, bFlag, bLast);
     }
}

Then I let the standard file opening mechanism actual open the file (I just
have a flag set that lets me know what to do with it).

For example,

 if(m_openMethod == OPEN_TO_WIZARD) {
      pMainframe->ShowWindowEx(m_nCmdShow);
      pMainframe->UpdateWindow();
}
