if there are two process running with the same name. How do I attach it using openprocess?

openProcess can take either the process name or the process ID as a parameter.

My problem is when processname is not unique then?
and how do I know the processID till runtime?

I meant if there is two process running with same name it will cause ambiguity to which process to select.

Have a window of the process you want to open in the foreground, and call getForegroundProcess.

in that context. I think we should use getForegroundProcess(). Am I wrong?

Edit: okay you corrected it.
But then I have to tell my user to follow this steps.
Anyway I think it will solve my problem.

Thank You.

Since CE doesn't expose anything for the process list you'll have to deal with CE attaching to whichever process it does first. CE loops the process list backward so the newest process with the given name will be the one CE attaches to.
