How to set run priority?

[Max]

Hi,
Someone knows how to set run priority for a process launched by PB?

Run priority has 6 levels:
Real Time: 24
High: 13
Above Normal:10
Normal:8
Below Normal:6
Idle:4

How to change the process among them?

Code: Select all

SetPriorityClass_(hProcess.l, dwPriorityClass.l)

So, to set your app's priority class to realtime for example:

Code: Select all

SetPriorityClass_(GetCurrentProcess_(), #REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS) 

However I'm not sure if that's what you meant.

YES. I will try it.

Thx traumatic

SetPriorityClass don't seem to exist under Pure Basic

Max could you give me your test result ?

If you are using the demo version of PureBasic, the API calls aren't available directly, which could be why you're not finding it. If that's the case, you can do it another way:

Code: Select all

#HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS = $80
OpenLibrary(0, "kernel32.dll")
process = CallFunction(0, "GetCurrentProcess")
CallFunction(0, "SetPriorityClass", process, #HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS)
CloseLibrary(0)
