Determine if application running through Delphi

[vincer]

Is there a way of determining whether an application is being run through the delphi environment?

Thanks

 

[whosrdaddy]

very simple (need at least delphi 5)

function IsDebuggerPresent(): Boolean; external 'kernel32.dll';

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if IsDebuggerPresent() = True then
    ShowMessage( 'Debugger or IDE detected' )
  else
    ShowMessage( 'Debugger or IDE NOT detected' );
end;

Thankyou,
I thought there would be a nice easy function somewhere
but I didn't know where to look.

A similar sort of question. Is there a way to tell if an application with the same name is already running before your program opens? i.e. if it is already running then you can close the new instance.

paubri, although your question may be related, it is still a different question - so please post this as a separate thread. You are more likely to get responses if you do.
