The application's command line arguments get the path to the file in windows Explorer

Hello

I am trying to open a file with my labview application .exe, so I thought that windows was sending the file path double clicked in Explorer solutions in the form of argument, but all I get is the name of my exe file.

Does anyone know how to set up windows or the application to get the double click path from the Explorer, which has the file extension has already been associated with my exe?

Thank you!

I'm not sure I understand, but I think you want your Labview program to open another file, as a file of perimeter?

Have three basic choices.

Hardcode the path with file name in your program http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361K-01/glang/path_constant/

Use the file open vi and for the user to select the file to open http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/glang/file_dialog/

Write your program to accept a http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/17C3AD70493CE0208625666A00763364 command line argument

    Hi Dave,.

    I have good news for you:

    There are two ways to do what you want:

    The first is the simplest and is already in Windows 7 (and Vista by the way):

    1. highlight one or more files that you want to know the way in Explorer.
    2. press and hold the SHIFT keyand right-click on one of the highlighted files.
    3. when the popup menu appears, click the entry in the path of the copy which appeared as if by magic, because you're now the SHIFT key.

    A slightly better method, IMO, but it takes a little extra work is to add an extension to the send menu to allow you to right-click on one or more files and choose send to-> Clipboard (as name).  This somehow me seems more practical, because I'm used to the way in which the rear PowerToys when.  Such an extension, which also adds a nice Panel to help you manage the menu send to, is a neat package small freeware called send to toys, by Gabriele Ponti, which can be downloaded here: http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/index.html#sendtotoys

    A nice feature of the program send to toys, is that you can even have it put quotes around any path to file that contains white space.  Practice indeed!

    I hope this helps!

    Make sure that the device is compatible with Vista, the Vista Compatibility Center: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/default.aspx.

    If you need to get pilots to leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  You need to find the NAS device and the NICs in particular - but it would not hurt to look at all the when you're there.

    Go to start / Control Panel / Add Hardware and select the first option (recommended) to see if the system can detect the device.  If this does not work, choose the second and provide the information requested on the device.  You will be asked for drivers - have their practice.  Follow the prompts to install the device (NAS).  Make sure that it is plugged in and turned on when you do so, or he not be recognized.  It's the hard way of installing a hardware device, but your system obviously isn't automatically recognize it then do it manually. Here is a brief tutorial on how to do so: http://www.web-articles.info/e/a/title/Windows-Vista :-Running-the-Add-Hardware-Wizard /.

  • Spontaneous change of "update" of the files in Windows Explorer

    When I got to work this morning I found that the "update" for all user files has been changed to date of yesterday at 13:14.

    I was working with my computer yesterday at this time there, but of course, was not able to open and edit all THE thousands of files of the user at the same time.

    Modification of files dates have not been modified or changed the dates of the program files

    After I discovered the anomaly I realize a virus to F-Secure Internet Security 2010, verification check found only a cookie program that has been quarantined

    What to do, I need to have the right dates on my files?

    P.S. I also made obvious, restarted the computer, which does not solve the problem

    Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

    Restore point:

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  • Read command line arguments to TestStand sequence start, moving within the sequence

    Start a sequence by using a batch file and add command line arguments. Example: "MySequence.seq Arg1.

    Now, within the sequence I want to read this first (and another) argument "Arg1".

    There is a stage in the ActiveX for that, giving a type (object reference) channels, see screenshot.

    Question: How to use this reference to read the argument?

    Honestly I don't think that you are using it correctly.  I think that your application in your UI Manager must handle this.  However, to answer your question:

    According to the TestStand help CommandLineArguments property is of type string.  It comes to aid of TestStand as well:

    Channels
    A collection of strings. You can get a reference to the collection of the ApplicationMgr.CommandLineArguments property, the ExpressionEdit.GetValidEvaluationTypes and ExpressionEdit.SetValidEvaluationTypes methods and the ApplicationMgr.ProcessUserCommandLineArguments event.

    Properties
    Count (read-only)
    Agenda

    Methods
    Add
    Claire
    Insert
    Delete

    Looks like you can use activeX not use Count or properties of the element to retrieve a single argument.

    Hope this helps,

  • Go (argc and argv) command line argument to a LabVIEW built the shared library.

    Hello

    I correctly use this trick to create a LabVIEW application that runs on Linux without X display.

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/5D6EC36DCF43343786257449006919E6

    I would like to know if it is possible to pass command line arguments (. / TEST A B C D) directly in the library shared without having to pass arguments using an array of strings that would need to write code using DSNewHandle, DSSetHandleSize, extract arguments and... (I'm not proficient in C, but if I don't have the choice, I'll do and improve my skills of C).

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
            Test(argc, argv);
            return 0;
    }
    

    Thank you

    Michel

    Well, you can always flatten it into a single string separated by a space and pass like that. Reverse basically what made the operating system, when he calls your main function with command line parameters. And while the first element of the array is always the name of the program itself you can just ignore that here, but then put shaped everything in a single string.

  • Read in the name of the file + path using command line arguments

    Hi guys,.
    I'm trying to use command line arguments to read two file names. The code below works as long as the files are on the class path.
    public class cmdLineArguments {
         
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              String xmlFile1 = args[0];
                    String xmlFile2 = args[1];
                   
              System.out.println ("\nXmlFile1: " + args[0] + "\nXmlFile2: " + args[1]);
         }
    }
    I would like to be able to read files that are not on the classpath as well by entering the full path as well as their names.
    In other words, it works if I type:
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs file1.xml file2.xml
    but not if I type:
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml
    What would someone please explain how I can modify the code to make it work? I guess I could take both a string, change them manually (add a------it etc.), but y at - it an easier way to do it? Even a reference to a tutorial, article etc. on this matter would be much appreciated.

    In addition, no idea why compile, execute code fine in Eclipse but would create an error in command line?

    Thank you very much.

    You must learn more about cmd.exe that is used to process the command line. The arguments passed to any program is the command line separated at whitespace so your command line arguments of

    c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml
    

    turns into a table of

    "c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml", "c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"
    

    In other words, instead of 2 arguments you actually have 6.

    To bypass this file names must be enclosed in quotes

    java cmdLineArgs "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml" "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"
    
  • All icons changed to and will Outlook open, error message "command line argument is not valid."

    I have been using Windows 7 and Office 2010 since the beginning of this year. Suddenly, I have a problem.

    All my software program icons (shortcuts and start menu) moved somehow to be the Outlook icon. When you try to open Outlook and any other program, I get the message "cannot start Microsoft Outlook. The command line argument is not valid. Check the switch you are using. »

    None of the software opens. This is true for Microsoft products and software from other companies.  The only way I can open/use some of my software is to go to the file and open it from there. How can I solve this problem?

    I tried to use my Office CD to repair the software, but nothing has changed.  I tried to go into the properties of the icon to see if the problem can be corrected for other software but the links are to the correct files and the icon will not change.   Nothing I've tried works.  Even in Control Panel administrative tools are not open (they have also been changed to have the Outlook icon).

    . I need help as soon as POSSIBLE. THX

    Only, I've solved my problems with this re - create my profile.

    To re - create your user profile name just as a different user and ensure that the user have a good administrator.

    Go to my computer > users (Windows 7) or Document and settings (Win XP) > find the profile that have a questions and rename (* do not delete because we need a return to the top if there is all data must be transferred to a new profile)

    Another thing need to do is to change the registry by go to start and type regedit (make sure administrator too)

    Go down this path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileLIST\ * only Applicable for Windows 7

    Oncve you see all the list such as S-1-5-18... something like this a check which is the profile who have questions and delete.

    The profile with a questions can be seen on you under ProfileImagePath: C:\Users\

    In fact, you can try to reconnect and it will be relaxing a new profile just transfer back up the old data of the profile that was rename in the new profile that has been re - create.

    Hope this helps, if so please mark this answer.
