Who Called me?

[Roy Barr]

Hello,

I need to run my application from another one, and I need to know which
application called me.
Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Roy

You can always call the application with parameters like
c:\go.exe -from MyCallerAppName -......
and retrieve them in then go.exe application.

Simplest way would be to set up your target app (the one which will be
run from another application) to use parameters, like so

App1: TargetApp App1
App2: TargetApp App2
App3: TargetApp App3

Then in "TargetApp", simply parse out the Environment variables
(returned in an array of strings)

Of course, you could mess around with .NET remoting and do the cool
way, but that would cause you to write abit more code.

Isn't there a way to get the application with the focus?
