    How can I get the command line argument in a JS Metro app?

    I have added some file type associations to the manifest file and now everytime I click on files of those types, my app is launched. However, I haven't found a way to access the command line arguments (I assume the file name is passed as a command line arg)

    This seems to be working:

    WinJS.Application.onmainwindowactivated = function (e) {
        if (e.detail.kind === Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation.ActivationKind.file) {
            // the file object is in e.detail.files[0]
            doSomething(e.detail.files[0]);
        }
    }
