Hello everyone, I have an .exe with interface and I want to run it from a bat file from my cmd command list, my .exe file has two text boxes:
Source File
Clue
I want to pass these two parameters through my bat file so that it is executed automatically, someone at some point has done something related or would have some ideas on how I could do it, greetings to all.

when executing my bat file it only opens the program but does not pass my parameters to my interface of my .exe

Our API leans towards the capabilities of the native Electron. Support for parameters with the native Electron works via command line switches. https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/command-line-switches

I'll show you how to use the command line switches with Electron.NET here:

Hi GregaroBiswanger, I'm trying but I'm still stuck with the new script you sent me, I don't know if I'm applying the syntax correctly

Hm - you write JavaScript in a bat file...

Again, follow the steps outlined in the referenced issue:

Add the args to the call of the exe (e.g., myapp.exe /args --dog=woof --test=true)
You'll need a JS file run inside the electron application - this way you can call, e.g., app.CommandLine.HasSwitchAsync where app is the global application imported from the electron package

The (2) can also be read / achieved inside Electron.NET. The API has the CommandLine object that exposes the functionality from the app.CommandLine object.

Outdated - use ElectronNET.Core and ElectronNET.Core.AspNet.

See Wiki / What's New.
