Process Info

[Subramaniam s V]

how do i find out if a particular process is running or not. I have the ProcessID with me for reference. I dont wanna use OpenProcess method. Is there any other way.

you can enumerate running processes if you have the name of the executable and match the filenames. BTW, if you just want to check whether IE is running or not then this code snippet will work just fine

HWND hExplorer = ::FindWindow("IEFrame", NULL);
if (!hExplorer)
{
hExplorer = ::FindWindow("CabinetWClass", NULL);
}
if(hExplorer)
{
//running
}

why not openprocess? nave

you can use hProcess = OpenProcess (PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION|PROCESS_VM_READ, FALSE, yourID); openprocess/EnumProcessModules/GetModuleFileNameEx/ First you should Handle to process and then you can use this function and other functions....

Hi, if you already know the ProcessID you can use EnumProcesses function, instead of OpenProcess - it will tell you if the specified process is running. Good Luck!
