Detect process who executed script

[memerim]

I have multiple process with same title and class, but i edited the executable name to differ each one,  in determined actions they will run a autoit script, is possible detect the process who executed the script?

Look in the help file for those 2 functions : ProcessExist and ProcessList.  You can also use Win* ("[ACTIVE]").  Hard to say with no code...

If i use winactivate will mess up everything, process exist and process list , how it can help to detect the process who executed the script.

Of course, but not WinGetProcess, WinGetHandle, WinGetText, etc.  Help file is your best friend...

Now that you have the basic tools, it is time for you to write some code. Enjoy !

ConsoleWrite(@AutoItPID & @CRLF)   ; Process identifier (PID) of the current script.

I think he wants to know which process launched the autoit script...

ps. another option is to pass the launcher PID as a command line parameter to the autoit script.

To find the parent process PID you can use this:

Exactly, i'm trying know which process launched the autoit script, and Nine, i have searched and read in the help file, this is how i did my script below.

This is my actual script, he detects the active window, get her process name, and run another script inside a determined sandboxie, im trying identify what process launched the script without needs active her window.

@jchd I launched your script it pop up a window with all process, im a bit lost what next step?

[Nine]

you could simplify your code by doing this (untested) but you get the idea :

Local $box = Number(StringRegExp($NamePidActwin,"(\d+).",$STR_REGEXPARRAYMATCH)[0])
Local $client= "/box:" & $box & " %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Scripts\job.exe"
RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe" ' & $client, "", @SW_HIDE)

Have a look at _WinAPI_GetParentProcess and _ProcessGetName.  The script will need to be compiled for it to work correctly.  

#include <Process.au3>
#include <WinAPIProc.au3>

Global $iScriptParentPID = _WinAPI_GetParentProcess(@AutoItPID)
Global $sParentProcessName = _ProcessGetName($iScriptParentPID)
MsgBox(0, "Process Name", $sParentProcessName) ;For testing.
