You cannot. Without hacking, you can't read memory of other processes.

Is calling ReadProcessMemory[^] hacking? It would no doubt end up that way if the OP tried to use it to solve his problem.

Definitely not.
It simply means Carlo wasn't aware that Microsoft gently provides such a function  .

What are you trying to accomplish? This sounds like an instance of the XY problem[^].
|
|
|
|

Well yes, it is a XY problem. 
When I'm opening a txt file from an application which I made I want to open another instance of this application with the file opened in it. So I don't want to load all the dlls and bins again, but just point to them in the memory (because the files were already loaded by the application which was first opened).
I want to do this because I cannot make the application a MSDI one, because it's to hard to do for me.

I don't think you can interfere much with how images (executables, not bitmaps) are loaded, but they're partly shared anyway. Don't ask me for too much detail, I'm not very familiar with what exactly windows does with images and/or memory mapped files.
That's all much too complex for such a goal anyway - just look into MDI, it'll be simpler.

Each process has it's own address space so, in general, it's not possible to just run another instance and "point to them in the memory". If you're worried about DLL's and such beging loaded twice I'd leave the management of virtual memory up to the OS, it's smart enough to map the same physical page into multiple processes when possible.

Are you sure of this? In what operating system? I have Win XP and I can tell you for sure that this is not happening because when I open a second app it takes as much time as the first one for all the files and dlls to load. Maybe in higher operating systems all apps point to the same adress in memory but not in XP.

|
|
|
|
Yes, XP included. I'd guess what you think is taking the time is not the real culprit.

You say it's taking 15 seconds to start up, this gives plenty of time to break into it 5 or so times with a debugger and get some stack traces to see what it's really up to.

Okay, I will do that. Thanks.

Why do you think it matters if it was loaded twice?
|
|
|
|
|
It will matter because it takes 15 seconds for the app to start.

You know that there are ways to mitigate that right?

I guess the number of times I have done it and countless others are just fantasy.

I guarantee you that in this case there are no ways.
Loading has already been optimized to the max.

What I said was "mitigate"="Make less severe, serious, or painful"

Find out what's really taking the time instead of guessing (I'm willing to bet incorrectly).

Hi,
I am working on a project in which I have created a property sheet, I am using 3 property pages in that. Now it happens that it perfectly displays in Windows xp (72 DPI default ), but if I run it on higher DPI than 72 DPI, controls starts disturbing. Many of the controls will hide.
I have one list control and 3 buttons on that which I have created manually (Hard-coded), not created on any dialog. I am facing big problem in setting the position of that List Control and 3 buttons.
Please let me know if anyone have any suggestions about this.
Any help will be appreciated.

If you create the controls manually then you need to add code to calculate their positions based on the window size and DPI settings. In Dialogs this is done automatically.
Use the best guess
