Members

lFlags

Not used. Must be 0.

strAppLauncherName

Name of a launcher executable. The launcher is started by the lobby, and it in turn is responsible for launching the application described in strApplicationName. The launcher must reside in the same directory as the application.

strApplicationName

Name of the application. This title should not be localized. Use the strDescription member to localize the application name.

strCommandLine

Command line arguments to be passed to the executable when launched by a lobby.

strCurrentDirectory

Path that the current directory should be set to.

strDescription

Localized description of the application. When DirectPlayLobby3.GetDPEnumLocalApplications is called, this string will be returned.

strFilename

Name of the executable to be launched. Note: The use of a stub executable should be avoided when launching from a lobby. In a lobby launch scenario, the stub should be bypassed and the main executable should be launched.

strGuid

Globally unique identifier (GUID) of the application. This should be the same as the value set by using DirectPlaySessionData.SetGuidApplication when hosting a game session.

strPath

Path where the executable is located.
