protocols - Pass arguments when using the File protocol

Question

I found this question being asked on several places on the internet (including the File protocol MSDN page) but no clear answer.

So, if I am calling my application like this: file://c:\myapp.exe is there any way to pass it some command line arguments, like /nospashscreen=true

Things I've tried:

file://c:\myapp.exe?/nospashscreen=true - launches the app, but with no command line arguments :(

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I am assuming you are using Windows? If so, there is no way to pass a parameter using the "file://" syntax, as it is an Asynchronous Pluggable Protocol that does not accept parameters.

However, if you really need it, you can craft your own pluggable protocol that accepts parameters.

Here's an example:

An Asynchronous Pluggable Protocol Handler for data: URLs
