How do I hook to web applications that are launched from a windows application?
Hi, We have a quick links type windows application that launches several web applications on demand. I have created web adapters for each of these web applications. However, I cannot get the studio to hook to the web applications when they are launched from the windows app. I'm thinking that HookChildProcesses is the way to go about this, but maybe I'm configuring it incorrectly. Please assist.

I apologize that I did not respond sooner. I did not get notified of your response. Are you able to download Process Explorer and identify the parent process? If so, please take a screenshot of the Process Explorer window showing the hierarchy and highlight the web applications that are launched from the windows application.

You are correct in using HookChilProcesses. If these processes are indeed launched as children from a windows application, then you will need to interrogate them as child processes of the windows application.
