Launch EA Programmatically

Question

I would like to open an EA session via Windows service and do some action behind the scenes.
I use the Repository API, however, don\'t know how to initialize it correctl

Answer 1

To open a running instance use (C++ example)

CLSID clsid;
CLSIDFromProgID(L"EA.App", &clsid);
IUnknown *pUnk = NULL;
IDispatch *pDisp = NULL;
HRESULT hr = GetActiveObject(clsid, NULL, (IUnknown**)&pUnk);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
  hr = pUnk->QueryInterface(IID_IDispatch, (void **)&pDisp);
}
