thank all![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
Just consider this code:
<br />
System.Diagnostics.Process[] myProcesses = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(procname);<br />
if (myProcesses.Length == 0)<br />
Console.WriteLine("Nothing.");<br />
else<br />
Console.WriteLine("Is running.");<br />
Process's name can be changed easily, just like Luc Patyn said. Process's ID changes each time process begin to run in our system.
Just wonder can I get it by what?

Seems like you have two apps and are asking about interprocess communication. Then please
start by telling more abbout the situation:
- what is it all about?
- how did the target app start? can you modify its code if need be?
- what it is your controlling app wants to do to that process? any particular requirements,
as to speed, resources used, reentrancy, ...?

all is about I want to check whether one process is running or not.
My check was not correct if someone renamed the EXE file which uses to open that process.
So I decide to check it out by comparing size of main module of each process are running and size the EXE file:
<br />
using System;<br />
using System.Diagnostics;<br />
using System.IO;<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
public Process[] getProcessesByExeSize()<br />
{<br />
Process[] myProcesses = null;<br />
int i = -1;<br />
Process[] allproc = Process.GetProcesses();<br />
foreach (Process p in allproc)<br />
{<br />
string s = p.MainModule.FileName;
FileInfo finfo = new FileInfo(s);
long fileinbytes = finfo.Length;<br />
if (fileinbytes == 12345)
{<br />
myProcesses[i+1] = p;<br />
i++;<br />
} <br />
}<br />
return myProcesses;<br />
}<br />
I tried to replace "\" by "\\" or add @ in front of s but not success.

Hi,
1.
sorry for the delay, CodeProject e-mail notification is slow (again).
2.
you failed to answer my questions so what follows may not fit well with what you intend to do.
3.
when I develop two apps myself, one needing to check the other, I use a uniquely named mutex;
that works quickly and reliably, without causing all the GetProcesses and FileInfo overhead,
which may fail anyway for one of several reasons:
- you may not be allowed to see other user's processes;
- the other EXE size may change (because you modify it if it is your code, or you or
Windows Update or some other updater decides to update it, if it is not your code)
it certainly is a good approach for implementing a "single instance of application".
4.
your C# code seems a bit troubled:
- myProcesses[i+1] = p; will fail if you don't create the array first; and
then you don't know its exact size beforehand, so you would be better of using either
an ArrayList or a List< string>
- don't see why your index should start at -1 and [i+1] is used
- don't understand what the \ and \\ and @ comment is about, there are no literal paths
in the code as far as I can tell.

hello,
Using DShowNET,I want to preview live video, capture it to a video file and grab frames at the same time and here i am encountering problem.Using the ISampleGrabberCB interface, one can preview the video and grab frames without any problems. Using the ICaptureGraphBuilder2 interface,one can preview and capture video to a file without any problems. But how to do both these tasks at the same time?
I m adding each filter one at a time and then connecting them one at a time. The result; a problem in GetConnectedMediaType method.
media = new AMMediaType();
hr = sampGrabber.GetConnectedMediaType(media);
It is returning negative value(-214...) and i dont get y? :'(
Can anybody who worked in DShowNet help me out?

I have a BenQ x700 Pro keyboard and I installed Windows Vista. Unfortunetly BenQ does not want to make software for my model. It has specialty keys such as: Volume Control, Mute, Standby, My Media (loads Windows Media Player), Next Track, Previous track, Play/Pause and Stop just to name a few. Is it possible to catch these specialy keys? If so do you have any suggestions how to do this?
[Edit]
The program has to be able to catch keys wether or not it has focus.
[/Edit]
Thanks.

A bit of googling suggests that the driver itself handles the extra keys so the chances are Windows won't even see them as keystrokes without a working driver. Have you tried installing the XP drivers using XP compatability mode?
Failing that, this[^] page (BenQ Singapore) has a driver dated December 2007 so it may work with Vista. It's in .rar format so you'll need WinRar or something similar (there are free utilities available) to unzip it.
Good luck!
|
|
|
|

Yes I tried BenQ software for XP and it didn't work. It caught the actions but nothing happened as a result. IE I turned the volumn control knob on the keyboard but the volume didn't change.
I tried the site the Singapore site but it didn't work. Thanks anyways.

A global key hook should be able to catch the keys. A quick search revealed this[^].
You will be looking for the following values from the Keys[^] enumeration:
MediaNextTrack - The media next track key (Windows 2000 or later).
MediaPlayPause - The media play pause key (Windows 2000 or later).
MediaPreviousTrack - The media previous track key (Windows 2000 or later).
MediaStop - The media Stop key (Windows 2000 or later).
VolumeDown - The volume down key (Windows 2000 or later).
VolumeMute - The volume mute key (Windows 2000 or later).
VolumeUp - The volume up key (Windows 2000 or later).
Then you could use the MCI[^] API to forward the commands.
Take care,
Tom

Regarding that code you pointed me too. After put each line of code on it's one physical line and after fixing a few problems I have one left to solve:
<br />
protected static extern IntPtr SetWindowsHookEx(HookType code, HookProc func, IntPtr hInstance, int threadID); <br />
Error #1:
The type or namespace name 'HookProc' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
On a slightly related note. Can someone explain to me what:
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
does?
|
|
|
|
|
IIRC HookProc is a function pointer to the code that you want to have run everytime a key is pressed.
DllImport is used to make a native dll's functions available within a managed application.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

Even thought BenQ's software is not installed a majority of the specialty buttons work such as Media Player control, Volume control, and the nav forwards and backwards buttons.
Thanks for the help.

I have a Panel with the Docking code:
Panel.Dock = DockStyle.Left;
And I have another panel with the same code, but I can't get the other panel underneath the already docked Panel.
How can I solve this?
|
|
|
|
|
What do you mean underneath? Do you want the two panels to form a single column with one on top and one on bottom?
Take care,
Tom
