Retrieve name of calling EXE

[MickTheBelgian]

I am programming a OCX myself.
How can I find out the name of the EXE which is calling it?
If this is impossible, then any other info about the exe...

Try looking at the Parent object, maybe something like:

Parent.Name

or

Parent.Title

AHA!!!
I'm afraid it is not that easy!
The .parent and .extender.parent connection largely get lost when you are compiling into an OCX.
There are some API calls for finding out who calls the DLL but then you end up with MSVB60.DLL, who is the master of all things as far as VB is concerned. I worked out an extremely complicated solution using hwnd and then finding out which window is parent to it, but it is far from perfect. If anybody has a better idea...
