Pass Command Line Parameters to a CHook


Recommended Posts

Digging through the forums I've learned that it's possible to automatically launch a c-hook on Mastercam startup by passing it as the first command line argument:

 

"C:\Program Files\mcamx6\Mastercam.exe" C:\path\to\MyChook.dll

 

Is it possible to access other command line parameters from a C-hook context? For example if I wanted to specify a config file for my c-hook on the command line:

 

"C:\Program Files\mcamx6\Mastercam.exe" C:\path\to\MyChook.dll C:\path\to\MyConfig.txt

 

I tried running Mastercam from a separate directory but it seems to change the CWD back to it's home in Program Files. Any advice?
