Hi. Im currently building a service that tries to get the list of processes currently running in the system. Is this possible for an application to do?? Also, I want to install either hooks (or some equivalent way) to monitor when there is a change in forcus or when an application loads...etc. is this possible??
Can you recommend any reading I can do on these topics?

Also, look into SetWindowsHookEx / WH_SHELL hooks.
I appreciate you help thus far.
I wrote a simple program that gets the Process listing, and it works fine. But im having trouble hooking into the WH_SHELL message. Im only getting a small number of messages, only conisiting of HSHELL_WINDOWACTIVATED. Im starting to think that this hook only monitors what MY application is doing and no what every application in the system is doing.
I can post my code if need be, but its rather large.

Post the portion that you need some verification on.
