Hello all,

I am given the task to retrieve information of all processes being executed in Windows platform using Visual C++.

I am new to this field, so can anyone help me by providing links to how we can actually create a simple version. I read MSDN regarding process and thread functions, but still I am not able to learn that how exactly I should create the project and how to work on it.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Regards,
Jay Patel

Solution 1

What information about each process do you need.
There are several functions that give you different attributes of the process.
To get a list of all running processes, use EnumProcesses.
