How would I pass an arguement, from the command line, into a form? |

I should probably give more info so this makes more sense. From WinMain I
want to be able to pass wahtever is sitting in LPSTR and pass it into the
main form or in the case of the example below into TForm1. I hope that
makes more sense now.
WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
try
{
Application->Initialize();
Application->CreateForm(__classid(TForm1), &Form1);
Application->Run();

Well you do not need to as everywhere in your program -and so
also in Form1- you can get the parameterstrings with
ParamStr(0);
ParamStr(1);
Use ParamCount to see how far you can go.
Also the old c-style argc and argv[] still work too.

Something to keep in mind - ParamStr() and ParamCount() have bugs in them
that actually skip certain kinds of valid parameters (see QC #27451 for
details).

Outside of the main function _argc and _argv can be used in a Windows
program.
