1) speak - correct - english
2) understand you books
3) try their examples/samples
4) ask specific questions

your issue(s) are too generals... no one can help.

explain what you already tried and where you're stuck, and then we'll see what we can do for you.

Doing it in .NET is not MFC, you should ask in the C++/CLI forum. But, if you're going to ask such broad questions, yes, buy a book.

If some other program launches my MFC application from command line, such as
test.exe /a /b
is there a way to return the Exit Code to the caller?

If the caller launches my MFC application with CreateProcess, then my MFC application should return the Exit Code with ExitProcess, right?

If the caller runs a batch (script) file to launch my application, how do I do to return the Exit Code?

Thanks!

~~using the %ERRORLEVEL% environment variable for instance ?!~~

my bad, i uinderstood "how do i get the return code ?".
anyway, have you tried something Maxwell ? i think it should work if you're just using the exitprocess, or the exit() function from the CRT, but all depends what you're doing in your application...

The customer said in the email that they have a master program to invoke my application, but they have not told me how they do to run my application yet.

So I was thinking, if they are running a DOS-box (command prompt) script batch file ... ? Confused | :confused:

C:\ test.exe /a /b
C:\ _ <--- Show nothing. :->

You can override ExitInstance method of your App class.
For instance, the following override make the application to return 5:

int CMyApp::ExitInstance() 
{
  CWinApp::ExitInstance();
  return 5;
}

If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

You can use GetWindowLong() or GetWindowLongPtr() to get the window style after the window is created. And you can use SetWindowLong() or SetWindowLongPtr() to modify the style.

If you are creating the window with CreateWindow() or CreateWindowEx() then you can simply pass the styles combined with the bitwise | operator.
