PureBasic Forums - English

Hi all, thanks to Doctorized in particular, but all others for their contributions here.

I was struggling to get any joy with NVAPI, but this has really helped.

The first post seems to include all of the fixes from when this was posted, but in PB 6.21 I had to make a couple of changes.



Used ...

Updated to allow enabling/disabling, see first post with * UPDATED * notes.

You can pass a process ID (PID in Task Manager) to amend other programs' states (may be admin/user-dependent) or use GetCurrentProcessId_ () to set your own program's state.

The function is now:

SetEfficiencyMode ...

Also, whoa... never seen this!
Interesting, will need to look into this option, thank you.

Thanks for posting that -- I had to open the DLL as my version doesn't seem to include SetProcessInformation_, so sounds like it's been added in an update. I'll update mine soon!

Hi all,

Just a quick test here, but seems to work for placing an application into what the Task Manager calls 'Efficiency mode' -- you can right-click a task, choose 'Efficiency mode' and it goes into a special low-resource usage state.

I wanted this as it seems to make a huge difference to ...

Aaaarrgghhhh! Thanks, PeDe! I knew it would be me -- I thought I was meant to pass the image handle, but I get it now, thank you.

Hi all,

I haven't been here for a while, just not doing a lot of programming these days, but tonight I've run into this problem under PureBasic 5.70 LTS (Windows - x64): trying to load an icon (.ico) and use it with AddSysTrayIcon always fails for me, with " [ERROR] AddSysTrayIcon(): The specified ...

Thanks, BarryG, have updated first post with your code.

(It works on WIndows 7 too!)

Interestingly, while running a quick test, I immediately found a window that doesn't get picked up with either version: the main window of the Reaper DAW ( https://reaper.fm/ ), which appears otherwise standard ...

Thanks, Kuron, interesting links. The source is assembly, though, so definitely not for me! Book looks interesting.

My project is only a simple arcade-style flight game, using basic forces/torque for "good enough" flight, but failing to handle stalling, which this does nicely.

I had a look last ...

Amazing work.

Thanks for posting this, and your other demos! I'm currently struggling with aircraft physics so will study this!

Really cool stuff.

You could adapt this to do something similar -- just run the list of windows through pid = FindWindowProcessID (window) to match window to process:



#TH32CS_SNAPHEAPLIST = $1
#TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS = $2
#TH32CS_SNAPTHREAD = $4
#TH32CS_SNAPMODULE = $8
#TH32CS_SNAPALL = #TH32CS_SNAPHEAPLIST | #TH32CS ...

Only just seen this. Love the vehicle stuff! Thanks, Fred and co.

Ah, thanks, guys. I had no idea this was something I needed to take care of... I guess I assumed Windows was still using ASCII for all this stuff!

Works perfectly now, of course... will post my code if I get something useful out of it!

Much appreciated.

Ah, wasn't aware of #KEY_WOW64_64KEY / #KEY_WOW64_32KEY, will give this a go tonight -- many thanks for having a look, Rashad, really appreciate it!
