ProcessIt Library Released 1.0 beta

Post by NoahPhense »

ProcessIt Library 1.0 beta

*UPDATED*

This Library has 3 functions.

FindProcess()
KillProcess()
GetProcessID()

Comes complete with the library, integrated help file for F1
usage inside the IDE, a resident file, and an example PB file.

Download 1 - ZIP FILE

Download 2 - RAR FILE

Enjoy!

For those of you that have websites an such, feel free to host this file.

** EDIT SEPT 19 2004 **

Per request, added:
GetProcessFilename()

Just install one of the above packages.. then copy this lib over the installed
one. I have not had time to update the chm, or the installer..

ProcessIt_Lib - Library Download Only

Code: Select all

;Usage:
Debug GetProcessFilename("Full or Partial Process Name")

;Or

st.s = GetProcessFilename("Full or Partial Process Name")

If Trim(st) = ""
  Debug "process not found"
EndIf

; returns empty string if process not found
; otherwise return filename ..

very nice lib.

u just need to mention that it works text based, so you dont have to find
the procid manually, but you specify the process title!

One thing i would like is id=FindProcessId(name.s)
to find the process id by name!

Actually, no need for me to mention it, as there is a nice help file with
how-to's inside. As well, there is an included example PB file included,
as mentioned above.

As for the returning the processID.. I will work that one in, for the
next release.

Ok, I've updated my above links. It appears that my site doesn't like
exe's (sometimes), which is understandable. But anyhow, I've packaged
up the exe in a RAR and ZIP file.

@noaphence:

well there is. People would like to know what this lib can do.
Because if it wasnt that this lib used text to find procedures, i could
just use api's. like killprocess_() , but that only works with process id.

so thats why your lib is good.

@thefool
FindProcess()
KillProcess()
GetProcessID()

If people can't get an idea of what's in the library from these... then there
is a good chance that they should not be using a lib like this one anyways.

PS - inside the lib is already a procedure
Procedure.l KillProcessBy_ID(pid)

All I have to do is make it public:
ProcedureDLL.l KillProcessBy_ID(pid)

And it can be used on the outside.. I MIGHT do that in the future.. but
I would be reversing the animal. It's easy to get a processID, and it's
easy to kill a process.. as you have noted.. ;)

But not so easy to find it and kill it by name..

@dare2: hehe u should see our msn logs :D

well another request?
ok since u ask me so nicely to find a request, let me think...

well since the lib now spits out the process id from name (wich is the hardest part), everything can be done more easly.
But since pb compiler includes needed procedures only, many procedures wont hurt, and will just be easier to use. So another request is :

GetProcessFileName(processname.s)

hehe


but anyway its a nice lib.
