 |
|
Hey you guys, i was just browsing MSDN (yes, i do that sometimes when i'm bored, so stfu), and i found this piece of code that helped me a lot. So i thought i might post it to try and help you guys 
| Quote: | The following simple console application obtains a list of running processes. First, the GetProcessList function takes a snapshot of currently executing processes in the system using CreateToolhelp32Snapshot, and then it walks through the list recorded in the snapshot using Process32First and Process32Next. For each process in turn, GetProcessList calls the ListProcessModules function which is described in Traversing the Module List, and the ListProcessThreads function which is described in Traversing the Thread List.
A simple error-reporting function, printError, displays the reason for any failures, which usually result from security restrictions. |
And here is the code:
| Code: | #include <windows.h>
#include <tlhelp32.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>
// Forward declarations:
BOOL GetProcessList( );
BOOL ListProcessModules( DWORD dwPID );
BOOL ListProcessThreads( DWORD dwOwnerPID );
void printError( TCHAR* msg );
void main( )
{
GetProcessList( );
}
BOOL GetProcessList( )
{
HANDLE hProcessSnap;
HANDLE hProcess;
PROCESSENTRY32 pe32;
DWORD dwPriorityClass;
// Take a snapshot of all processes in the system.
hProcessSnap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot( TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0 );
if( hProcessSnap == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )
{
printError( TEXT("CreateToolhelp32Snapshot (of processes)") );
return( FALSE );
}
// Set the size of the structure before using it.
pe32.dwSize = sizeof( PROCESSENTRY32 );
// Retrieve information about the first process,
// and exit if unsuccessful
if( !Process32First( hProcessSnap, &pe32 ) )
{
printError( TEXT("Process32First") ); // show cause of failure
CloseHandle( hProcessSnap ); // clean the snapshot object
return( FALSE );
}
// Now walk the snapshot of processes, and
// display information about each process in turn
do
{
printf( "\n\n=====================================================" );
_tprintf( TEXT("\nPROCESS NAME: %s"), pe32.szExeFile );
printf( "\n-----------------------------------------------------" );
// Retrieve the priority class.
dwPriorityClass = 0;
hProcess = OpenProcess( PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, pe32.th32ProcessID );
if( hProcess == NULL )
printError( TEXT("OpenProcess") );
else
{
dwPriorityClass = GetPriorityClass( hProcess );
if( !dwPriorityClass )
printError( TEXT("GetPriorityClass") );
CloseHandle( hProcess );
}
printf( "\n Process ID = 0x%08X", pe32.th32ProcessID );
printf( "\n Thread count = %d", pe32.cntThreads );
printf( "\n Parent process ID = 0x%08X", pe32.th32ParentProcessID );
printf( "\n Priority base = %d", pe32.pcPriClassBase );
if( dwPriorityClass )
printf( "\n Priority class = %d", dwPriorityClass );
// List the modules and threads associated with this process
ListProcessModules( pe32.th32ProcessID );
ListProcessThreads( pe32.th32ProcessID );
} while( Process32Next( hProcessSnap, &pe32 ) );
CloseHandle( hProcessSnap );
return( TRUE );

void printError( TCHAR* msg )

TCHAR sysMsg[256];
TCHAR* p;
eNum = GetLastError( );
FormatMessage( FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM | FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS,
NULL, eNum,
MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT), // Default language
sysMsg, 256, NULL );
// Trim the end of the line and terminate it with a null
p = sysMsg;
while( ( *p > 31 ) || ( *p == 9 ) )
++p;
do { *p-- = 0; } while( ( p >= sysMsg ) &&
( ( *p == '.' ) || ( *p < 33 ) ) );
// Display the message
_tprintf( TEXT("\n WARNING: %s failed with error %d (%s)"), msg, eNum, sysMsg );

hope it helped. All those comments throughout the code helped me a lot =)[/url] |
