Hi
I am trying to create an object to an instance of hostex32.exe running on a machine. I use code that says :
HE = createobject("HostExplorer")
Which works. Funnily enough GetObject does not work , createobject in this instance seems to attach to the existing process as opposed to creating a new one. anyway that is not the issue but if I don't mention it someone will point that out.
The issue is that sometimes there are more than one process called "hostex32.exe" running and I need to be able to set an instance to each as I will need to "find" the one i am really interested in.
As background i use this for screen scraping a mainframe session so it is important I attach to the right one.
Does anyone know of a way that I can tell the createobject which process to connect to ?
I DID try another tactic of killing any spurious processes. if I had 2 processes I can tell which is the "correct" one by the process.MainWindowTitle etc and I could then kill the other process. Unfortunately my users don't have elevated privilege so that wouldn't work.
My program logic itself works successfully if there is only one hostex32.exe running , I have issues when there is more than one.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Hope this helps!
