using System; using System.Windows; namespace CSharp { public partial class App : Application { void App_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e) { // Parse command line arguments for "/SafeMode" this.Properties["SafeMode"] = false; for (int i = 0; i != e.Args.Length; ++i) { if (e.Args[i].ToLower() == "/safemode") { this.Properties["SafeMode"] = true; break; } } } } }
<Window x:Class="CSharp.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Loaded="MainWindow_Loaded" > <Grid> ... </Grid> </Window>
using System; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Controls; namespace CSharp { public partial class MainWindow : Window { public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); } void MainWindow_Loaded(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Check for safe mode if ((bool)Application.Current.Properties["SafeMode"] == true) { this.Title += " [SafeMode]"; } } } }
