About WinStudio startup parameters

Windows client supports several command-line parameters, which you can use to customize the way in which Windows client opens, for example:

[drive:][path]WinStudio.exe [-fFormName] [-sConfigurationServer] [-wWorkspaceName] [/config=ConfigurationName] [/user=UserName]

Parameter Description/Example
-f FormName Opens the form named FormName when Windows client opens.

Example:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe-fAcctRecPayments

-s URL Specifies the configuration server to use when opening.

The  server can be designated by means of a standard URL.

Example:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe -shttp://MyServer/IDORequestService/ConfigServer.aspx

OR

The value LocalService specifies use of the local IDO Runtime Development Server.

Example:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe -sLocalService

-w WorkspaceName Opens Windows client with the workspace named WorkspaceName active.

Example:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe -wAcctsRecReportsForms

/config= configName Opens Windows client with the data source configuration configName. The data source configuration name appears in the Windows client Sign In dialog box.

/device= deviceID Opens Windows client with the specified device-type version of the form, if one exists. If the form does not have the specified device-type version, then Windows client displays the default version of the form.
