Thread: Getprocesses();

AFAIK there's no win32 API function of that name. If you're using an NT based o/s then you can load EnumProcesses() from PSAPI.DLL (it's not included in any headers or libraries so you can use LoadLibrary()). Here's two links from google demostrating EnumProcesses() use -

Oh, do you mean using a 'managed C++' app with Visual Studio.NET. It looks pretty straightforward in the help files, but I wasn't able to access a Process object using managed C++ as the compiler kept telling me that it wasn't a member of the Diagnostic namespace (I was able to access it using C# though).

If this is what you're after you may be better off finding a .NET board somewhere.

After playing about with it I've got it to work -

Code:

#using <mscorlib.dll>
#using <system.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System:: Diagnostics;



// This is the entry point for this application
#ifdef _UNICODE
int wmain(void)
#else
int main(void)
#endif
{
    //Get All Processes
	Process* myProcess[] = Process::GetProcesses();
	
	//Print first 20
	for(int i=0;i<20;i++)
		Console::WriteLine(myProcess[i]->ProcessName);
	
    return 0;
}

If you don't have a compiler that can use the managed NET extensions then you'll have to use a different method.
