Hi,
I've been trying to get process list and came up with this piece of code:

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

#include <windows.h>

#include <tlhelp32.h>


using namespace std;


int main()

{

	

	HANDLE hndl = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS,0);

	if( hndl )

	{

		bool ff;

		LPPROCESSENTRY32 proces;

		proces->dwSize = sizeof( LPPROCESSENTRY32 );

		ff = Process32First(hndl,proces);

		

		if(ff)

		{

			cout << proces->szExeFile << endl;

			while(ff = Process32Next(hndl,proces))

			{

				ff = Process32Next(hndl,proces);

				cout << proces->szExeFile << endl;

			}

		}

		else

		{

			cout << "Error :(" << endl;

		}

	}

	CloseHandle(hndl);

	system("pause");

	return 0;

}

It compiles good but when I run it it shows and Error and app just breaks.

So if anyone knows a better way to display a list of processes with their handle-s and ids please give me an example that will work on Windows 98.

That function is not available for Win98. See Requirements here. I know of now alternative, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

Is there somehow some other way, or how to get window list?

Yes -- stop supporting Win98.

What's wrong with Windows 98?

Microsoft doesn't support Win98. It's 13 years old, not overly secure, and tends to have lots of issues.

Hmmm... I'm almost 17 years old; I wonder if that makes Microsoft not support me. :)

I use Linux. Try getting support for MoonLight encryption from them.

What? What's MoonLight?

Oh, and also, I was just kidding about the "... Microsoft not support me" ; it's software, not necessarily people, that looses support with gaining age.

[WingedPanther]

Moonlight = Silverlight for Linux. Microsoft has contributed code to it, but NOT the encryption module that would let Netflix work on LInux.

[RhetoricalRuvim]

Oh, that makes so much more sense now.

But what if all someone has is Windows 98? What if the machine is so old that it doesn't support newer Windows versions?

That's what Linux is for :)
