About application startup parameters

This Mongoose-based application supports several command-line parameters, which you can use to customize the way in which the application 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 the application launches.

For 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.

For example:

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

OR

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

For example:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe -sLocalService
-w WorkspaceName Opens the application with the workspace named WorkspaceName active.

For example:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe -wAcctsRecReportsForms
/config= configName Opens the application with the configuration named configName. The configuration name appears in the Sign In dialog box.

For example:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe /config=AcmeNevada
/user= UserName Opens the application with the user name UserName specified in the Sign In dialog box.

For example:

C:\Acme\WinStudio.exe /user=JohnSmith
/device= deviceID Opens the application with the specified device-type version of the form, if one exists. If the form does not have the specified device-type version, then the application 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.

For example:

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

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