Actually, this is not true. Even in a true win32 app, argc and argv are
available, they are just not as obvious. The following program will print
the location of the exe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "stdlib.h" // for __argc and __argv
#include "stdio.h" // for sprintf
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
char msg[300];
sprintf(msg, "%d args. Arg0 is %s", __argc, __argv[0]);
MessageBox(NULL, msg, "argv test", MB_OK);
return 0;
}
