What ran me!

Is there any way to have a variable with the name of the executable that called your app?

[youknowwho4eva]

Is it an executable you made? Are you just trying to pass a variable from one program to another?

Found this when googling:

http://bytes.com/groups/net-vb/385638-how-...ent-process-pid

I can take a look at the CreateToolhelp32Snapshot function later if you want to

[TurionAltec]

Try PsaltyDS's _ProcessListProperties()

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70538

$array=_ProcessListProperties(@AutoItPID)
$parentPID=$array[1][2]

It takes ~half a second to compute, you might be able to cut down on some of the calls in the internal functions of _processlistproperties()

- or something like -

#include <Process.au3>
$wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10
$wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20
$strComputer = "localhost"
$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process", "WQL", $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly)
If IsObj($colItems) Then
    For $objItem In $colItems
        If @AutoItPID = $objItem.ProcessId Then
            MsgBox(0,'Parent program name',_ProcessGetName($objItem.ParentProcessId) )
        EndIf
    Next
Else
    MsgBox(0, "WMI Output", "No WMI Objects Found for class: " & "Win32_Process")
EndIf

SmOke_N had successful code regarding this (not WMI).
