    Process being debuged

    How can a process determine whether it's being debuged or not??

    Or just use the win32 API function IsDebuggerPresent()

    Yeah, you put up a dialog asking the user if he's using a debugger (possibly even hacking your app). If he clicks the "yes" button, then take this as confirmation that a debugger is being used.

    ....
    I'm wrote that because some apps I've debuged use alternative ways to the win32 API funtion... and looking for a small asm segment like the one in codeproject.com is a bit laborous.

    You could always try a google search.

    I know that debugging often involves use of a certain interupt and there are ways of checking for that, but I cant remember much on it off the top of my head. That's where google is healpful
