Startup CMD problems

[John Veldthuis]

I want to pass some startup commands to my application using a shortcut. I have worked out how to do
this no problems at all. I have a module and in it a SUB Main. In Main I do the parsing of the
command line parameters and store what I need.
I the create a new instance of my form that I want by

DIM myForm as New Form1

And then open it by using

myForm.OpenDialog

I use OpenDialog because the program would quit otherwise and I want to wait for the main program to
finish first.

However I find that because I sometimes start my form hidden that the whole program runs perfectly
once and then as soon as it has the program quits.

Any suggestions? I would like to take the cmdline args on the Form_Load but cant see them there.

I'm not sure I totally understand your problem, but if you use
Application.Run(New myForm) in the Sub Main to show your form, your app will
not stop immediately.
