title: How to get the command line arguments in MFC applications?
body: <p>I wish to have a small dialog based application which is passed command line parameters, so, using VC++6 I ran the application wizard and chose an MFC dialog application.</p>
  
  <p>This is not automatically equipped with command-line parameters. So I went
  to MSDN to refresh my memory on these. MSDN states that all C++ programs
  have either a main() or a wmain() function and that the argc, etc. arguments
  go here. The application I just created does not have these.</p>
  
  <p>As there is obviously a function which is the entry point to the application, can
  I stick the arguments here? I did try this, but I am not convinced that I
  was actually editing the correct function. (Can I find the function which
  is acting as the main() function from the project settings or similar?)</p>
  
  <p>Basically, how do I get my program to read command line parameters.</p>
  
  <p>Also as a sideline. For a simple program, which this is, I really do not
  want to make it an MFC application, and thereby over a MB in size. Are there application wizard template libraries that will allow me to make a non-MFC dialog
  application?</p>
