About WinStudio startup parameters

WinStudio supports several command-line parameters, which you can use to customize the way in which WinStudio 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 WinStudio 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 WinStudio with the workspace named WorkspaceName active.

Example:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe -wAcctsRecReportsForms

“/config= configName ” Opens WinStudio with the data source configuration configName. The data source configuration name appears in the WinStudio “Sign In” dialog box.

Example:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe /config=AcmeNevada

“/user= UserName ” Opens WinStudio with the user name UserName specified in the “Sign In” dialog box.

Example:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe /user=JohnSmith

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

The deviceID parameter can be either a device ID (number)  or a device name (string), both as defined in the “Edit Device Types” dialog box.

Examples:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe /device=2

             C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe /device=Device02
