Simpile question on threads

[Josh Kasten]

THREADENTRY32 doesn't have have any thing for seeing the size of the thread does anyone know a way?

[bennyandthejets]

What does 'have have' mean?

What do you mean by 'size' of a thread?

[Josh Kasten]

Sorry about the "have have".
Isn't a thread basicly a process?
You can get the size of a process why not a thread?
Isn't a thread part of a process?
What I want to do is to be able to read the RAM a program and its threads uses so how would I do this?

You can get the size of a processes address space = 2 ^ 32 on most current windows machines. I think you meant the size of an execuatable?

Yes.....1 process can have numerous threads, but not less than 1

Lots of ways.....ReadProcessMemory for instance....but I suggest you first study what Processes & threads are and also learn about how Address Spaces operate. A good book by Jeff Richter will help you out

do you know a good tut instead of a book? I don't want to buy a book on just that.
