How can I determine if a program was started by the IDE ?
We use a library which crashes the program only if it
was started by the IDE.

thanks

You can't determine whether the IDE was the one who actually spawned the
process.  However, you can detect whether the program is running under the
context of a debugger (any debugger) in general.  There is an
IsDebuggerPresent() function for that purpose.
