Attach debugger programatically
-
I need to do it from the code, to attach a debugger to a process id, just the same as we can do it from the task manager when u right click a process and click debug. Any help would be appreciated Papa while (TRUE) Papa.WillLove ( Bebe ) ;
Check out the following API calls:-
Private Declare Function DebugActiveProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwProcessId As Long) As Long Private Declare Function WaitForDebugEvent Lib "kernel32" (lpDebugEvent As DEBUG_EVENT_BUFFER, ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) As Long Private Declare Function ContinueDebugEvent Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwProcessId As Long, ByVal dwThreadId As Long, ByVal dwContinueStatus As Long) As LongI only have this in VB - I'm guessing you want a C/C++ example...

Hope you get what i mean Papa while (TRUE) Papa.WillLove ( Bebe ) ;

Ah. You mean that you want your application to attach the VC++ debugger to it, rather than attach your program AS the debugger. Will "MSDEV -p procid -e procid" not do this? Steve S

If you want to use the same debugger as configured on the system for just-in-time debugging (which I think is the same as the one used by Task Manager), you can find the path in the Debugger value of the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug.
