Passing multiple files to an application

[Paul W]

Hi Everyone,

I want my app to duplicate the standard behavior found with MDI apps where
you can select one or more files from Internet Explorer, right click and
select 'Open With' and then have the app open the file(s). The problem is
that only one of the selected files is being passed to the app on the
command line. Anyone know how to get the names of all the files selected?

Thanks in advance.

In this case, each file is opened by the system individually by starting a
fresh process for each file.

You will need to ensure that your program is a single instance type (See
Windows Forms Tips and Tricks) and have the one instance open each file
individually.
