Command Line

[Paul Ilacqua]

Is there a command line tool for the Pocket PC. I need to call a program VIA
the command line of the PDA. Is this possible?

While holding the Action button, click and hold the stylus over the current
time area in the top bar. When you release the stylus, you will see a menu
Run/Clock. Select "Run". A box will open similar to what you see on the
desktop when you click Start/Run except you won't have browsing. Enjoy.

I've got a question to further this line of discussion.

How would I programatically access the command line parameters in my VB.Net
PPC application? I'm looking for something similar to the old Command().

Try changing your Sub Main method to take an array of strings.

Daniel,

Sorry about posting in both places.

I've tried your suggestion :
(PDA)
Module Module1

Sub Main()
MsgBox("Nothing")
End Sub

Sub Main(ByVal msg As String)
MsgBox(msg)
End Sub
End Module

from the Desktop, I fire
m_rapi.CreateProcess("Windows\Start Menu\Programs\pull", "Hello")

I am always getting 'Nothing' from the PDA, not hello. Do you know why that
might be?

Using an array e.g.

Sub Main(ByVal msg() As String)
For Each arg As String In msg
MsgBox(arg)
Next
End Sub
