+## Determine if an App-V Application is Running Virtualized
Independent software vendors (ISV) who want to determine if an application is running virtualized with App-V should open a named object called **AppVVirtual-<PID>** in the default namespace. For example, Windows API **GetCurrentProcessId()** can be used to obtain the current process's ID, for example 4052, and then if a named Event object called **AppVVirtual-4052** can be successfully opened using **OpenEvent()** in the default namespace for read access, then the application is virtual. If the **OpenEvent()** call fails, the application is not virtual.
