I'm trying to get the arguments declared in ProjectName.cpp file (the file of the application) wich contains the following autogenerated code:
extern "C" int FMXmain()
{
try
{
Application->Initialize();
Application->CreateForm(__classid(TfrmPrincipal), &frmPrincipal);
Application->CreateForm(__classid(TfrmCarregar), &frmCarregar);
Application->CreateForm(__classid(TfrmCodigo), &frmCodigo);
Application->CreateForm(__classid(TfrmConfig), &frmConfig);
Application->CreateForm(__classid(TfrmImgConf), &frmImgConf);
Application->CreateForm(__classid(TfrmSobre), &frmSobre);
Application->CreateForm(__classid(TfrmTradutor), &frmTradutor);
Application->Run();
}
catch (Exception &exception)
{
Application->ShowException(&exception);
}
catch (...)
{
try
{
throw Exception("");
}
catch (Exception &exception)
{
Application->ShowException(&exception);
}
}
return 0;
}
I just would like to get the arguments when the application is launched, so i've tried to change the declaration of the function to:
extern "C" int FMXmain(String argv)
and
extern "C" int FMXmain(wchar_t* argv[]) // as I may need wide char support (TCHAR doesn't seems to be useful in this case)
or (the default)
extern "C" int FMXmain(char* argv[])
The only doubt I have is how to pass the value I get to the main form. Should I pass it after creation or after the application is already running? How do I do it?
OBS: Main form: frmPrincipal
If I'm making something wrong, please tell me. PS.: I'm just trying to get the file path after double click on it (I've already gotten the function wich will link my application to the registry)
References that helped me a little bit:

Since now, Thank you A LOT.
You can use System::ParamCount() and System::ParamStr() to retrieve the command line arguments from anywhere (including FMXMain()
, without modifying it). Here's an example using it from a form's OnShow
event handler to populate a TMemo control, for instance:
void __fastcall TForm1::FormShow(TObject *Sender)
{
Memo1->Lines->Clear();
for(int i = 0; i < System::ParamCount(); ++i)
{
Memo1->Lines->Add(System::ParamStr(i));
}
}
ParamStr(0)
is always the fully-qualified executable name of the application itself.
You can test it by using the Run->Parameters menu item in the IDE. Add some values as parameters and run the application.
