Am I a DLL?

[SteveDingle]

Heya All,

I was sure I had code for this but can't find it and couldn't find anything randomly searching here.

I want to exclude/include code based on if the code being run is inside a DLL. For instance, I wanted to use COMRETURNERROR when running the DLL, but not have it run if I'm using the code in an EXE, APP or inside vfp (testing)


Toodles,

Check StartMode in Help, it returns:

0 A development version of Visual FoxPro was started in an
interactive session.

1 Visual FoxPro was started as an application object. For
example, the following command creates an instance of
Visual FoxPro as an application object:

2 Visual FoxPro was started as an out-of-process .exe
automation server.

3 Visual FoxPro was started as an in-process .dll automation
server.

4 Visual FoxPro was started as a distributable .app or .exe
file.

5 Visual FoxPro was started as an in-process .dll automation
server for multithreaded use.

So you could use:

IF INLIST(_VFP.StartMode, 3 , 5)
   *** Do what you want to do in DLL mode
ELSE
   *** Application is not runned as DLL
ENDIF

Thanks Boris, now I know what to look for I've found where I used it before (shoulda thought to search on "start")
