    Getting PID from process

    Hey everyone, can anyone direct me to an API that will get me the PID from a process name? (e.g. "notepad.exe")

    I can't use the FindWindowA method as the program I'm dealing with draws no windows and I'm stumped, help is appreciated

    Search.

    I always wonder about people that ask these kind of questions and never seem to search.
