Visual Basic, How to detect (by EXE name) if a non-shelled process is running (32-bit)

How to detect (by EXE name) if a non-shelled process is running (32-bit)

Author	Message
Nadeem Ansar #1 / 11	How to detect (by EXE name) if a non-shelled process is running (32-bit) We are in the process of upgrading a vb3 application to vb5. The old code used hMemcpy to copy a user defined type structure into a string variable. This was done so that two user defined type structures could be compared to see if there are differences. So the qusetion is: Is there a replacement in the kernel32 for hMemcopy ? if not, is there a way of comparing two user defined structures? Any help will be appreciated. Alex Livingston

Andy Coo #3 / 11	How to detect (by EXE name) if a non-shelled process is running (32-bit) Alex, There are two answers to your question. 1. As per Bruce McKinney's {filter} Visual Basic, this is the API declaration: #If Win32 Then Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib KERNEL32 Alias RtlMoveMemory ( _ lpvDest As Any, lpvSource As Any, ByVal cbCopy As Long) #Else Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib KERNEL Alias hmemcpy ( _ lpvDest As Any, lpvSource As Any, ByVal cbCopy As Long) #End If 2, The other thing you can do is use the VB intrinsic statement LSet to copy bytes directly from one structure to another. This method is portable between VB versions. -Andy. Quote: > We are in the process of upgrading a vb3 application to vb5.

Dave Ranza #4 / 11	How to detect (by EXE name) if a non-shelled process is running (32-bit) Thanks Greg. Is there anyway to do this within VB (rather than C, which the language the KB article uses). Or is there an API call to get the EXE name if the hWnd is known?

In the 16-bit world I used GetModuleHandle >>("notepad.exe"), which doesn't work in 32-bit. I won't know what the window >>caption/title will be, only the EXE name. Any help would be greatly >>appreciated.

BarddZ #6 / 11	How to detect (by EXE name) if a non-shelled process is running (32-bit) EMail me for the source code. It works like a charm, in VB. Returns collection of all EXE's running (and DLL's), also returns PID's of each found. Can also get usage, threads, size, etc....

BarddZ #7 / 11	How to detect (by EXE name) if a non-shelled process is running (32-bit) EMail me for example and source code. Gets all EXE names and DLL's running, PID's, threads, and more. All in VB 5 (SP3).
