differentiate foreground and background processing

Former Member — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 05:06:52 GMT

Hi All,

I want to execute a certain report in background. If the user tries to execute the program in foreground, the system should prompt him not to run it in foreground. In the same way, the message should not come if the program is run in backgroud.

That is, the system should differentiate whether the program is run in foreground or in background. How to differentiate them?

If i could differentiate, i could code a message to display when the user runs the program in foreground.

Please help me.
