OK, I just had a feeling...

On another tack, the gb.Args Args class help page contains the line:
"Return non-options as arguments."

What does that mean?

Bad english of mine... It means that Args.End() will return a string 
array of all arguments that were not interpreted as options or option 
arguments.

What's the problem with passing arguments to a program ? There is just a 
limit on the total size in bytes of the arguments. Run "xargs 
--show-limits" to get it.

[Gambas-user] What's the best way to determine how a project was invoked?

2016-01-09 Thread adamn...@gmail.com 
We have a set of "tools" that we use with Gambas. They are generally stand 
alone and are invoked "by hand" and at startup the user selects the Gambas 
source project to "attach" to.
Now I want to provide some integration between them, i.e. allow Tool_B to be 
invoked from a Tool_A menu or button.  In that case, I want to pass a context, 
i.e. the source project that is attached in Tool_A.

What I want to determine is what's the best way to find out, in Tool_B "how I 
was invoked".

Currently I think that using gb.Args and passing a specific flag option to 
indicate that has been invoked from another tool (I can test that with 
Args.Has).

But I'm not sure that this is really the "best" way.  Any thoughts?

regards
bruce
