PdhAddCounter_() - get rid of language of system?

Hi all!
for Windows with the English language:
Code: Select all
PdhAddCounter_ (hQuery, "\Process(_Total)\% Processor Time", 0, @Counter()\hCounter)
for Windows with the Russian language:
Code: Select all
PdhAddCounter_ (hQuery, "\Процессор(_Total)\% загруженности процессора", 0, @Counter()\hCounter)
for Windows with other languages:
Code: Select all
PdhAddCounter_ (hQuery, "... other languages ...", 0, @Counter()\hCounter)
How to create a universal code for Windows with all languages?
Maybe counters have some numeric identifiers or something similar?
Best regards.

They have an index and PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex should give you the localized name.

Yes, thank you, already seen ...
Code: Select all
;PdhLookupPerfIndexByName()
PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex()
(I can only similar, following the example.)
Thanks for the help

Help please, what am I doing wrong?
Code: Select all
Prototype PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex(a.s, b.l, c.s, d.l)
Global PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex.PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex
Global hQuery.l
If OpenLibrary(88, "Pdh.dll")
PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex = GetFunction(88,"PdhLookupPerfNameByIndexA")
Debug PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex
PdhOpenQuery_ (0, 0, @hQuery)
Debug "---------------"
LPTSTR.s=Space(255)
Debug PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex(#Null$, 238, LPTSTR, SizeOf(LPTSTR))
Debug "---------------"
Debug @LPTSTR
Debug LPTSTR
EndIf

The last parameter is not just a long, it's the address of a long.
Code: Select all
Prototype PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex(a.s, b.l, c.s, d)
Global PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex.PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex
Global hQuery.l
If OpenLibrary(88, "Pdh.dll")
PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex = GetFunction(88,"PdhLookupPerfNameByIndexA")
Debug PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex
PdhOpenQuery_ (0, 0, @hQuery)
Debug "---------------"
LPTSTR.s=Space(255)
cchNameBufferSize.l = 255
Debug PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex(#Null$, 238, LPTSTR, @cchNameBufferSize)
Debug "---------------"
Debug @LPTSTR
Debug LPTSTR
EndIf

Hi,
Code: Select all
Prototype PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex(szMachineName.s, dwNameIndex.l, *szNameBuffer, *pcchNameBufferSize)
Global PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex.PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex
Define Size.l
If OpenLibrary(88, "Pdh.dll")
CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Unicode
PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex = GetFunction(88,"PdhLookupPerfNameByIndexW")
CompilerElse
PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex = GetFunction(88,"PdhLookupPerfNameByIndexA")
CompilerEndIf
Size = 1024
*LPTSTR = AllocateMemory(Size)
If *LPTSTR
If PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex(#Null$, 238, *LPTSTR, @Size) = 0
Debug PeekS(*LPTSTR, Size)
EndIf
FreeMemory(*LPTSTR)
EndIf
EndIf

Code: Select all
If PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex(#Null$, 238, *LPTSTR, @Size) = 0
In Purebasic 5.62 this line worked, result = 0
In Purebasic 5.70 this line failed, result = 3221228477
What changes do we need to make for this to work in 5.70?

Maybe this is the ASCII / Unicode problem.
PdhLookupPerfNameByIndexA = ASCII
PdhLookupPerfNameByIndexW = Unicode

Hi,
it looks like an error in PB 5.70
If I use:
Code: Select all
Prototype PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex(*szMachineName, dwNameIndex.l, *szNameBuffer, *pcchNameBufferSize)
and
Code: Select all
PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex(#Null, 238, *LPTSTR, @Size)
It works.
If I use
Code: Select all
Prototype PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex(szMachineName.s, dwNameIndex.l, *szNameBuffer, *pcchNameBufferSize)
and
Code: Select all
PdhLookupPerfNameByIndex(#Null$, 238, *LPTSTR, @Size)
It fails.

I dont think its an error in 5.70 as that parameter should be a long pointer.

No, it's a pointer to a string.
And szMachineName.s is exactly this, because in PB a string as parameter is represented by a pointer to that string.
So it should work in PB 5.70 like in 5.62
