Is there a simple way to determine if compiled program is run from IDE

(1/1)

Ken_SF:
Hi,

I am using Code::Blocks 17.12 with C++ for Win32 programming.

Is there an easy way to determine if a compiled program was launched from the IDE or manually by clicking on the compiled program in its directory?

The best I have been able to come up with is to use Window's  GetCurrentDirectory function and see if the program was launched from my project directory or the Debug/Release directories that are created for me by Code::Blocks when I build a project from within the IDE.

Suggestions?

BlueHazzard:
I would use arguments...

If you start the program in codeblocks, you add the argument -CB or similar in Project->Set programs argument and then in your program you check if the argument is present....
If you run it from the explorer you do not have the argument...

Why do you need to know that?
