Hi Christof

Hard to explain. Particularly it's not realy my problem. A friend working offline robot programs has the simulation tool running multiple times. There is a sort of script language that will be called externaly from the simulation to do something on the simulation via automation (or something the like) . He gots a handle via something that looks like VFP CREATEOBJECT() something on the running process.

So what he need is a handle to a specific, not the first one. In the end it would be enough to run through all processes and check them. For now he found a way to run to the process list and figure out the PIDs of the procesess that are of interest. Now he likes open them to check for the right target.
