Getting A List Of Running Applications

kvarnerexpress
At the moment, I know how to get a list of all running processes on the computer. The problem lies when it comes to the point in which I need a list of all the applications on the computer. This is just a minor distinction but enough of one to be causing me a problem.

I am trying to write this program that will open a certain program, however, this program (along with a couple of others I need it to open) run on a single process, even when you open multiple documents. One of these programs is, for example, OpenOffice. It opens one process, which is linked by the OpenOffice QuickStarter. Now lets say I open two different OpenOffice Text Documents. I get one process (the QuickStarter) called soffice.exe running. However, I have TWO windows open - one for each document. My problem, as you may or may not have figured out by now, is that after opening the first document, I have the connection to the process, but opening a the second document, I do not have the connection to second document, because the process is already opened and the process handler just gives me a link to the original file opened.

If anybody could help me out here, I'd greatly appreciate it, I've been racking my brain over this issue for the last week and can't seem to find anything on the internet to help. Thanks in advance!

Just hit Ctrl Alt Del, and then go to the processes tab. I think that's what you want to do :/

Use the FindWindow() winApi function. that is checks application /window/ has opened before. Also EnumWindows. That is API function as well.
