And I've just noticed that it won't work on SDK 3.0 either, where applications are not DLLs, but EXEs. Anyhow, one of the C...Application classes should have a relevant function that can be called for servers (i.e. EXEs), too.

Expressed like that, yes it is.... but this also allow a DLL to store different configurations for different applications that may use it (this is the case we currently have).

So I guess the basic idea is that if you tell the DLL who's calling, then the DLL can have different kind of services depending on who the caller is? That kind of solution sounds a bit awkward, doesn't it? :)

Nice trick, Eric! :)

But don't forget about that this trick won't work in a server, where CCoeAppUi() returns a lovely NULL.

A very small and simple trick but which is sometimes useful: retrieve in some DLL code the name of the application which uses the DLL.
