Hi<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I developed a Vb aplication that can open particular files ( say with extension &nbsp;xyz ) . User can open such files from Application GUI. But i would like to enable the application when such files are double clicked. Also &nbsp;How can i enable command line argument property for my application. That is if my application name is &nbsp;MyApp.exe , i need to use the following &nbsp;command line to start application for the file Test.xyz<br />
<br />
<br />
MyApp &quot;c:\Sample\Test.xyz&quot;<br />
<br />
so that my application starts with the file Test.xyz opened in it as if i tried to open it from Application GUI.<br />
<br />
Thanks in Advance

How to Set Command line arguments for a VB application

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
