The ProcessViewer is a very simple console application process viewer that
displays the information about the processes that are currently executing
in the memory. Here’s an example of what the running applications displays.
While the overall scope of the application may be narrow, the code does
illustrate how to use of Tool Help Library provided by Microsoft in order
to obtain vital information about running processes. Below is the salient
code for this purpose.
Note that specifically the application makes use of the process functions
Process32First and Process32Next to find all the running
processes in the system.
void CProcessViewerDlg::ShowProcessData()
{
// Get the snapshot of the system
hSnapShot=CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPALL, NULL);
PROCESSENTRY32 pEntry;
pEntry.dwSize = sizeof(pEntry);
//Buffer for Process Info
char szProcessInfo[255];
/Get first process
Process32First(hSnapShot, &pEntry);
//Iterate thru all processes
while(1)
{
BOOL hRes=Process32Next (hSnapShot,&pEntry);
if(hRes==FALSE)
break;
sprintf(szProcessInfo,"%d",pEntry.th32ProcessID );
m_list.InsertItem(0,pEntry.szExeFile);
m_list.SetItemText(0,0,pEntry.szExeFile);
m_list.SetItemText(0,1,szProcessInfo);
sprintf(szProcessInfo,"%d",pEntry.cntThreads );
m_list.SetItemText(0,2,szProcessInfo);
sprintf(szProcessInfo,"%d",pEntry.th32ParentProcessID);
m_list.SetItemText(0,3,szProcessInfo);
sprintf(szProcessInfo,"%d",pEntry.pcPriClassBase );
m_list.SetItemText(0,4,szProcessInfo);
}
}
