Often you have to pass some parameters(Password,UserName,...) into
the application.This code gives you elegant and easy way to pass
as many parameters as you want.
Inputs
Add to exe line: Project1.exe /u 'UserName' /p 'Password' /d 'domain'
Where UserName,Password,domain are strings
Common formula: project1.exe {/[letter] string}
Assumes
Create new project.Add code to Form1.Make Project1.exe.Now you
can pass into the application 3 parameters:Username ,Password,Domain
(Whith little change you can pass as many parameters as you wont).
VBcodersConst PARAMHEADER = "/"
Public Function getTokens(CommandLine As String) As Collection
Dim reminder As String
Dim col As New Collection
Dim pos As Integer
Dim param As String
Dim paramValue As String
Dim paramName As String
reminder = CommandLine
pos = InStr(reminder, " ")
Do While pos > 0
param = Trim(Left(reminder, pos - 1))
If (Left(param, 1) = PARAMHEADER) Then
Call AddParamCol(col, paramValue, paramName)
paramValue = ""
paramName = Mid(param, 2)
Else
paramValue = param
End If
reminder = Trim(Mid(reminder, pos + 1))
pos = InStr(reminder, " ")
Loop
paramValue = Trim(reminder)
Call AddParamCol(col, paramValue, paramName)
Set getTokens = col
End Function
Private Sub AddParamCol(c As Collection, s As String, k As String)
If k = "" Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
Call c.Add(s, LCase(k))
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Load()
Dim Args As Collection
Set Args = getTokens(Command)
On Error Resume Next
User = Args("u")
Password = Args("p")
Domain = Args("d")
'Add your variables and actions
