Process performance monitor

[Sandeep Kulkarni]

Could anyone pls tell me how to programmatically (VC++/VB6) get the CPU time & mem usage of a process, given the process name(or PID), under WIN2K? Th...x

[Arcrest]

for mem usage,refer to GetProcessMemoryInfo for cpu time, refer to GetProcessTimes and you can also get all information of processes by using Performance Montoring Functions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/perfmon/base/performance\_data.asp but i don't like to use them,because this library uses much system resources, even a simplest program using this library will have at least 7 threads and 5K memory usage.

This article might be of some help. The Heap32First()/Heap32Next() functions can be used to walk the heap of a process, examining each of the blocks and summing their size if necessary. I've not actually tried this, however. See GetProcessMemoryInfo(). Also look at this article. It does not report numbers like Task Manager does, however.
