Title: How to Know if you are in the IDE
Question: Sometimes you want something to happen only if you are in the IDE, i.e. for debugging or evaluation purposes
Answer:
I looked for this all over the web and could not find it. Some people kindly posted answers on a newsgroup and I thought I would share.
If debugHook0 then // you are in the IDE
The above works with D5, I have not tried it in other environments. I did not need to add anything to the uses clause to get it to work, so I am not sure where it is defined.

Please share this tip with your friends and fellow programmers.
Sometimes you may want to find out weather the Delphi IDE is
running. You can use the following function:
function IsDelphiRunning : boolean;
begin
Result: := ( FindWindow('TAppBuilder', nil) 0);
end;
This function will return a value of TRUE if the IDE is running or
FALSE, otherwise.
