    CreateApplication() Method
    In This Topic
    Creates an application that represents the instance of Reflection that was just started by you, or a Reflection instance running at the default IPC channel (if the Reflection instance is the first instance started manually).
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    
    Public Overloads Shared Function CreateApplication() As Application
    'Usage
     
    
    Dim value As Application
     
    value = MyReflection.CreateApplication()
    public static Application CreateApplication()

    Return Value

    An Application object.
    Example
    This sample gets a handle to an application that represents the first instance of Reflection started manually. Then it gets a handle to a demo session and gets some text from a session screen. Before running this sample, make sure the demoSession.rd3x session is running in a workspace
    //This sample gets the Terminal control of a running session.
    //Before you run this sample, make sure the session used in GetControlsByFilePath()
    //is running in a Reflection workspace. If more than one instance of Reflection is running,
    //the session must be running in the first instance that was started.
