Multiple instances of Acad.exe

Hi readers,

I am developing a program which needs to retrieve some information from sometimes multiple open Acad.exe's.
Now i can analyze if Acad is started and how many instances there are.
--
Dim actProcesses() As Process = Process.GetProcesses(Environment.MachineName)
Dim Counter As Integer = 0
For Each actProcess As Process In actProcesses
If Trim(actProcess.ProcessName.ToLower) = "acad" Then
Counter = Counter + 1
End If
Next
--
But i want to be able to select a specific one which has a predefined drawing open.
How can I "transform" a process to a AcadApplication to analyze the info i need ?

please help me, i have read thousands of lines on the internet and tried many different things to get things going.

wkr,

Harold van Aarsen

You can't get anything from a Process, you would
need

to use the Running Object Table or "ROT".

 

Goggle it.

I have also had a look at ROT, but i do not understand it.

Could you help me out with a sample of how to scroll through this ROT and find out if it is a Acad object.
An if possible get it into a AcadApplication.
