Hi all,
I think these are general queries still I am not aware of answer of
following queries:
1. I create a package for MyApp application and option is given to
user to change the path to install the MyApp application. Now in my
code, I want to find out the path of MyApp application so that I can
access it. So how to get the path of application?
Are you taking about Cocoa App, Carbon App, BSD tool ?
For Cocoa App, use NSBundle API
For Carbon App use CFBundle API (works with Cocoa too)
For BSD tool, I think _NSGetExecutablePath() will do the trick (<mach-
o/dyld.h>)
2. MyApp is running on my system and I need to find out that is it
running or not then how to find out?
What do you mean by "find out" ? The simple answer is have a look at
activity monitor but you may want to determine it programatically.
Same as above. Which kind of App ?
Cocoa: Iterate over -[NSWorkspace launchedApplications]
Carbon: Use Process Manager API.
BSD: use sysctl.
