Receiving command line parameters in Word Add-in

[pavan]

Hi All,
If a word document is created/opened using automation i.e. using
documents.Add and doucments.Open respectively, can we pass any command
line parameters/arguments?

Is it possible for the add-in to be able to receive those parameters?
Any response will be appreciated
TIA
Regards,
Pavan

No, no parameters can be passed to a document being opened/created
(beyond those defined in the Open and Add methods). Generally,
automation would assign the object to a variable, then do with it
whatever needs to be done.

What kind of thing do you have in mind, more exactly?

Cindy,

i think i have the same problem, no solution,

we wanted to know, how to run e.g. Word with command-line switches

and read those parameters from the Addin,

i've tried to access the command line using current running process

in the OnConnection method of the Addin:

Process proces = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
ProcessStartInfo procesSI = proces.StartInfo;
string cmdlineArgs = procesSI.Arguments;

but it returns empty string,

i will be grateful for the response

with best regards
