hi why i can not run taskmgr in window 98 ? how is it called in there??

This works for NT, 2000 and XP... but I haven't tested it with a REAL Windows
95, 98 or ME machine. (I only run them under Virtual PC, and the code below
doesn't seem to work with it). Maybe you can verify? I assume it'll work by
simulating pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL to invoke the "Close Program" dialog.

Code: Select all

; By PB.  Untested on a real Win 95, 98 and ME.

Procedure LaunchTaskManager()
  Select OSVersion()
    Case #PB_OS_Windows_95,#PB_OS_Windows_98,#PB_OS_Windows_ME
      If FindWindow_(0,"Close Program")=0 ; Don't do it twice or we reboot!
        keybd_event_(#VK_CONTROL,0,0,0)
        keybd_event_(#VK_MENU,0,0,0)
        keybd_event_(#VK_DELETE,0,0,0)
        keybd_event_(#VK_CONTROL,0,#KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0)
        keybd_event_(#VK_MENU,0,#KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0)
        keybd_event_(#VK_DELETE,0,#KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0)
      EndIf
    Default ; NT-based systems (NT, 2000, XP).
      ShellExecute_(0,0,"taskmgr.exe","","",#SW_SHOW)
  EndSelect
EndProcedure

LaunchTaskManager()

You could also try this on 95, 98 and ME (works for NT, 2000 and XP):

Code: Select all

PostMessage_(FindWindow_("Shell_TrayWnd",0),#WM_COMMAND,420,0) ; 420 = Task Manager.

it is "Taskman" under win9x IIRC

[doodlemunch]

not really the real things
that is like a diferent task magnager not eth one ran by ctrl alt del !

As a suggestion: the Task Manager in Win 95/98/ME is really basic, so it should
be very simple to recreate it using a ListIconGadget and getting the list of tasks.

The thing you get with Ctrl+Alt+Delete is NOT the task manager in Windows 9x.

Well, for all intents and purposes, the CTRL+ALT+DEL thing is what we're
obviously referring to, and what doodlemunch is trying to invoke.

oh do not make fun of my english anymore
it says on the titel '' close program '' or likes that
when i press ctrl alt delete i get it
but if we send teh keys it does not get opened
