hi all,
i intend to make a program like task manager.
so i want to get process name & ID to run on window right now.
i searched sample code and did it, my working is bad.
i used GetWindowThreadProcessId, getWindow, getnextwindow api function, it doesnt work fine.
could you show me another idea or code to write for it?
regards.
If you are trying to "recreate task manager" I am assuming you want to get the PID of all the processes running. This thread should help you obtain a handle to the process followed by the name and PID.
More on Processes (getProcesses)
I just created a task manager and have asked for help, so lookup threads with getProcesses in the title and variable length argument lists (for adding items to a listView). I would post the whole source code, but I have lost it. Good luck and I hope you can create a function similar to GetProcesses, but returns information about every window running. Task manager is a more arduous task than you might think (adding items to a ListView and obtaining the process User name).
Also I created my app without ever hearing about those functions.
thank you for your relply.
i'll show it More on Processes(getProcesses)..
TerminateProcess function ignore all requires and is forced to end process.
can anybody write another api function for closing process to solve it?
Close the process's main window.
thanks for reply.
by the way i dont know how to get process's main window well, is it true i use getnextwindow and getwindow for getting it?
and if i get handle of main window, which api do i write?
i tried to test it using many ways, but it doesnt work fine.
can you write me about it in detail?
regards
I don't know how to do it, only that it's possible. Sorry.
i understand you.
anyway, thanks for reply.
i did it.
I'm just not sure how to interpret "get process name & ID to run on window right now". I'll assume the window that you're referring to is your custom task manager and you want to list the processes in that task manager window. But anyway, here's a link to some code to enumerate processesQuote:

then my problem is "end process" when i use terminateprocess api, window is forced to end.
so i'm trying to end process after getting handle of mainwindow, im not finding properly api.
if you got it, can you help me?
If you have the main window handle, then send a WM_CLOSE message to tell the window to close.
It's not fail-safe, but it's far better than using termineprocess.
That's assuming the process has a window :)
If it doesn't have one, then there's no given way of terminating the process without the use of terminateprocess.
Windows works in terrible ways...
never mind!!! i did it. thanks for your interesting and reply
