I'm certain what you're asking. Are you asking how can you which programming language was used to write a software?

If so, then one way to check would be to check the company's website. Sometime you can find this information in the help topics. Other than that, I'm stumped as to how you can find that out.

If it's a windows application, then there is a good chance that it's written in C++
