[C++.NET][Windows] Process lister

[ayu]

Todays little experiment was rather small, but still fun.
I made a small application that will grab all the process names and their PIDs, and list them.
Half of the fun was to read a bunch of articles and reference material from MSDN to get all the material that I needed for the experiment.


Anyway here it is:

Code: Select all

#using <System.dll>

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Diagnostics;
using namespace Runtime::InteropServices;

int main()
{
	array<Process^>^pLocal = Process::GetProcesses();
	char* chars;
	string sName;

	for(int i = 0; i < pLocal->Length; ++i)
	{
		chars = (char*)(Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(pLocal[i]->ProcessName)).ToPointer();
		sName = chars;
		Marshal::FreeHGlobal(IntPtr((void*)chars));

		cout << "---------------\n";
		cout << "Name: " << sName << "\n" << "PID: " << pLocal[i]->Id << "\n";
		cout << "---------------\n\n";
	}

	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

It should be added that this isn't standard C++ by any means. This is "C++.NET", or "managed C++". You want the toolhelp32 family of functions for standard C/++ way of displaying processes.

Good point, changed the subject.
I'll create another one using the Tool Help Library =)
