Thread: New to C++ and I need to enumerate through processes

I'm having a hard time. I have been a professional VMS developer at DEC but not a C++ developer. I've ordered a book but it hasn't gotten here yet.

I need help on where to start.

Code:

#include <tlhelp32.h>

typedef BOOL (__stdcall *PGetProcessMemoryInfo)(
HANDLE Process, // handle to process
PPROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS ppsmemCounters, // buffer
DWORD cb // size of buffer
);

PGetProcessMemoryInfo pfGetProcessMemoryInfo;

BOOL GetProcessList()
{
HANDLE hProcessSnap = NULL; 
BOOL bRet = FALSE; 
PROCESSENTRY32 pe32 = {0}; 
int iCount = 0;
// Take a snapshot of all processes in the system. 
pfGetProcessMemoryInfo
= (PGetProcessMemoryInfo)GetProcAddress(LoadLibrary("psapi"),"GetProcessMemoryInfo");
hProcessSnap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0); 
if (hProcessSnap == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) 
return (FALSE); 
// Fill in the size of the structure before using it. 
pe32.dwSize = sizeof(PROCESSENTRY32); 
PPROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS pmc;
ZeroMemory(&pmc,sizeof(pmc));
// Walk the snapshot of the processes, and for each process, 
// display information. 
if (Process32First(hProcessSnap, &pe32)) 
{ 
DWORD dwPriorityClass; 
BOOL bGotModule = FALSE; 
MODULEENTRY32 me32 = {0}; 
do 
{ 
bGotModule = GetProcessModule(pe32.th32ProcessID, 
pe32.th32ModuleID+1, &me32, sizeof(MODULEENTRY32)); 
sprintf(szTemp,"Module%d",count++);
if (bGotModule) 
{ 
HANDLE hProcess; 
// Get the actual priority class. 
hProcess = OpenProcess (PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, 
FALSE, pe32.th32ProcessID); 
pfGetProcessMemoryInfo(hProcess,pmc,sizeof(pmc));
dwPriorityClass = GetPriorityClass (hProcess); 
CloseHandle (hProcess); 
//your code .............
//..........
RefreshThreadList(pe32.th32ProcessID,iCount);
iCount ++;
} 
} while (Process32Next(hProcessSnap, &pe32)); 
bRet = TRUE; 
} 
else 
bRet = FALSE; // could not walk the list of processes 
// Do not forget to clean up the snapshot object. 
CloseHandle (hProcessSnap); 
return (bRet); 
}

BOOL GetProcessModule(DWORD dwPID, DWORD dwModuleID, LPMODULEENTRY32 lpMe32, DWORD cbMe32)
{
BOOL bRet = FALSE; 
BOOL bFound = FALSE; 
HANDLE hModuleSnap = NULL; 
MODULEENTRY32 me32 = {0}; 
// Take a snapshot of all modules in the specified process. 
hModuleSnap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPMODULE, dwPID); 
//hModuleSnap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, dwPID); 
if (hModuleSnap == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) 
return (FALSE); 
// Fill the size of the structure before using it. 
me32.dwSize = sizeof(MODULEENTRY32); 

// Walk the module list of the process, and find the module of 
// interest. Then copy the information to the buffer pointed 
// to by lpMe32 so that it can be returned to the caller. 
if (Module32First(hModuleSnap, &me32)) 
{ 
do 
{ 
if (me32.th32ModuleID == dwModuleID) 
{ 
CopyMemory (lpMe32, &me32, cbMe32); 
bFound = TRUE; 
} 
} 
while (!bFound && Module32Next(hModuleSnap, &me32)); 

bRet = bFound; // if this sets bRet to FALSE, dwModuleID 
// no longer exists in specified process 
} 
else 
bRet = FALSE; // could not walk module list 
// Do not forget to clean up the snapshot object. 
CloseHandle (hModuleSnap); 
return (bRet);
}

DWORD CEmuteFileDlg::RefreshThreadList(DWORD dwOwnerPID,int iCount)
{
HANDLE hThreadSnap = NULL; 
BOOL bRet = FALSE; 
THREADENTRY32 te32 = {0};
int Step = 1;
// Take a snapshot of all threads currently in the system. 
hThreadSnap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPTHREAD, 0); 
if (hThreadSnap == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) 
return (FALSE); 
// Fill in the size of the structure before using it. 
te32.dwSize = sizeof(THREADENTRY32); 
// Walk the thread snapshot to find all threads of the process. 
// If the thread belongs to the process, add its information 
// to the display list.
if (Thread32First(hThreadSnap, &te32)) 
{ 
do 
{ 
CString str,strList;
if (te32.th32OwnerProcessID == dwOwnerPID) 
{ 
//your Code.........
//........
Step ++;
} 
} 
while (Thread32Next(hThreadSnap, &te32)); 
bRet = TRUE; 
} 
else 
bRet = FALSE; // could not walk the list of threads 
// Do not forget to clean up the snapshot object. 
CloseHandle (hThreadSnap); 
return (bRet); 
}

I got this off the net. What kind of project do I put it in and where do I put it? I have no doubt that I'll have more questions.

I have Windows 7 and VS2010. Oh yes, I'd prefer 64 bit to 32 bit code.

I can't read that big chunk of code you have there. What's your problem specifically?
As far as i know, WinAPI programming is almost identical in all languages...

Indentation! We cannot read that big chunk of badly formatted mess!
