Detect how the script is launched

[polps]

Hello people,

in my script I want detect if the script is launched directly by windows explorer (double click on the file) or by scite menu (tools - go).

Anyone know if it's possible?

Thanks

I don't think so, you can see if scite is running but that's all !

get the parent process

and check if it's Scite or AutoIt3Wrapper. If not it's properly done by double click

How do you get the pid of a no compiled script ?

because _WinAPI_GetParentProcess works by pid...

@AutoItPID

[wakillon]

@AutoItPID

@AutoItPID is the PID of the process running the script

you're right !

Edit : i have tried your solution and in scite it returns pid of autoitwrapper.exe and with contextual menu it return explore.exe pid !

What genius this Yashied !

#Include <WinAPIEx.au3>

$parent = _WinAPI_GetParentProcess(@AutoItPID)
$parent = _WinAPI_GetProcessName($parent)

IF $parent = "AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" or $parent = "SciTE.exe" Then
    MsgBox(0,'Info','Script run from Scite')
Else
    MsgBox(0,'Info','Script run by DoubleClick')
EndIf

Seems to work fine, have always the full scite package. So added also SciTE.exe.

#Include <WinAPIEx.au3>
$parent = _WinAPI_GetParentProcess(@AutoItPID) 
$parent = _WinAPI_GetProcessName($parent)
IF $parent = "AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" or $parent = "SciTE.exe" Then
     MsgBox(0,'Info','Script run from Scite')
Else
     MsgBox(0,'Info','Script run by DoubleClick')
EndIf

Yes, it's works perfectly!

Thanks all.

Why so complicated? Just check the last three characters of @ScriptName. If exe then compiled, if au3 then uncompiled (AutoItWrapper).

If StringRight( @ScriptName, 4 ) ....

Jeez .... KISS!

What about @Compiled ?

Edit: Just saw ... very old thread

Hahahahaha! Even more elementary.

Thanks Hannes, didn't know that one, though it being on top of the macro list in the help file .

Cheers.

Please read the topic again

That just tells if its compiled. Not how it was ran.

[Duijst]

That's right, JohnOne. But a simple problem definition as "in my script I want detect if the script is launched directly by windows explorer (double click on the file) or by scite menu (tools - go)" can be interpreted in many ways, therefore answered in many ways. All the more since it's not at all clear what should be achieved and why.

"Hear yee! Hear yee! The judge enters the theatre." You must have good eyes, JFX, to see from there where I'm standing. Or have we met before?

Anyways, that's all completely off topic, I'm sorry.

Cheers.
