The CCommandLineInfo class aids in parsing the command line at application startup.
An MFC application will typically create a local instance of this class in the InitInstance function of its application object. This object is then passed to CWinApp::ParseCommandLine, which repeatedly calls ParseParam to fill the CCommandLineInfo object. The CCommandLineInfo object is then passed to CWinApp::ProcessShellCommand to handle the command-line arguments and flags.
You can use this object to encapsulate the following command-line options and parameters:
Command-line argument | Command executed |
app | New file. |
app filename | Open file. |
app/p filename | Print file to default printer. |
app/pt filename printer driver port | Print file to the specified printer. |
app/dde | Start up and await DDE command. |
app/Automation | Start up as an OLE automation server. |
app/Embedding | Start up to edit an embedded OLE item. |
Derive a new class from CCommandLineInfo to handle other flags and parameter values. Override ParseParam to handle the new flags.
