Re: [libreoffice-users] Is there a way for a Basic macro to detect what application is running it?

A
​ctually there was another change from the post that I put before, the
Setup.xcu seems to be replaced by the ​registrymodifications.xcu

This has an ID check that list  the following node:
  <item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Setup/Office">
    <prop oor:name="LastCompatibilityCheckID" oor:op="fuse">
      <value>411m6(Build:9775)</value>
    </prop>
  </item>

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a vendor name, but I hink this
could be good enough, unless someone come with a better node.
