Start application with paramstring - question

[Bert Prins]

Hello.

I have an filetype associated with my application, so the user can dblclick
on the file. The application read the filename with ParamStr[1]. But this
don't work with files in maps with a whitespace in it, like '\Program
Files'. ParamStr[1] is the text before the (first) whitespace. How can I fix
this?

Did you set up the File Association yourself ?

The registry entry under your App type should look like:

c:path\apppathh\app.exe "%1"

The double quotes ( Chr(34) ) are then put round the name of the file
that is sent in the command line

Have a look in the registry under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WinZip\shell\open\command

You can also get at it from: Control Panel/View/Options/File Types

Also you can get the entire command line directly instead of using the
ParamStr() function

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
Var
S :String;
Begin
S := String( GetCommandLine );
ShowMessage( S );

End;

Use the CMDLINE variable and parse the line your self..
you will get the complete line that way
