    Send to option - how to handle in program?

    Hi there.

    In windows' context menu there is an option "Send to.". I'd like to send a text file (or a few of them) by choosing this option and later my program.exe from the list. How can I handle the process of receiving those filenames within my C++ program in order to open those files afterwards using ifstream?

    I'd say what you need is Open With context menu, but not Send to.

    Is it impossible to do it with "Send to"?

    I was actually wondering how I could receive those filenames within the program, but I forgot to simply test the argv array. It's all clear right now! Thx for help anyway.
