Find out which programm opend my programm[Sloved]

[eXXe]

Ok me once again

I wrote and programm where you should log in in another programm, and then start my programm.

If you start it directly it should not work.

Is there and way, that my programm can see from which programm it was started?

Maybe look for the first program in the process list, if it is not there then terminate your second program? Easiest way I can think of.

Then he could start up the first programm without logging in, and start the second, but for that i would have an idea

Edit:

Ok my idea doesnt work, need a new one

have the first program create an ini file when it is successfully run, then have the second program read it and delete it. That's what I would do

You can make an ini like that by urself...

Thats not safe

make the first program run the second program with parameters...

use $Cmdline[n] to get the parameter.

Could you explain it a bit?

I dont really understand what u want to tell me

This is true, I'm working in a small network where I don't have to worry about someone digging and finding where I hide my files. Your secondary program doesn't read the username and password of the first program? And for my permissions and log-in I've made it so it creates files on both the computer and the network drive that have to match up to log in and have permissions.

example,

program 1.

our problem (got a little team) is that the first programm is in c#, the second in AutoIt

We need the first in c# because we cant use mysql and ftp in autoit that good.

The first programm shall check if that user is registered, password etc..

If its all right start the second programm.

But i need a Methode where the suer cant start the second programm by hand...

example,

program 1.

Run("program2.exe -Hello")

the problem is that the first programm is in c# not in autoit

[youknowwho4eva]

what if the first program has some hidden text? That says locked when the username and password aren't accepted, and says unlocked when they are. have the second program read the first to see if it says unlocked.
