Visual Basic, Get PID from hProcess through CreateRemoteThread?

Get PID from hProcess through CreateRemoteThread?

Author	Message
Ken Willia #1 / 3	Get PID from hProcess through CreateRemoteThread? I have an hProcess returned from ShellExecuteEx. I need the PID instead. Apparently its very difficult to get. I understand I can use CreateRemoteThread in some way but don't see any examples anywhere. Can someone please tell me how to use CreateRemoteThread to call GetCurrentProcessId and end up with a PID for hProcess? This only has to work on Win2K and higher. Any other suggestions would be great. I wish to stay away from CreateProcess, which is why I'm using ShellExecuteEx. Thanks.

You can use the Toolhelp functions CreateToolHelp32Snapshot followed by Process32First and Process32next to loop through the processes.. The returned structure contains a PID, IIRC. Have a search of this group at google, there have been some expmales posted in the past. Actually if C doesn't scare you this MSDN article may help. Article ID: Q175030 Regards, Frank
