| Didn't x0r mention it somewhere that you should use EnumProcesses for this instead of CreateToolhelp23Snapshot??? (Since EnumProcesses is faster)

Well along the rode I found many problems with EnumProcesses. And if I did happen to use EnumProcesses I would be checking the number of processes, which wouldn't work. Because if one process ends and another starts you have the same number, but difference processes, and then it wouldn't update. Oh, and my timer isn't working. It automatically updates every 3 seconds even when there isn't anything changed.

Call EnumProcesses, stick the results in arrays, then compare them like I did.

The problem with that is. Is you would have to specify different names for each string that is going to hold the name. Let me elaborate.
| Code: |
DWORD epProcesses[1024], epByteRet, epNumProcesses;
EnumProcesses(epProcesses, sizeof(epProcesses), &epByteRet);
epNumProcesses = epByteRet/sizeof(DWORD);
for(int i = 0; i<epNumProcesses; i++) {
char bla[bla]; //problem here
}
|
The reason I put bla[bla] is because you can't make a difference between the variable names. I mean if you did it like this:
| Code: |
DWORD epProcesses[1024], epByteRet, epNumProcesses;
EnumProcesses(epProcesses, sizeof(epProcesses), &epByteRet);
epNumProcesses = epByteRet/sizeof(DWORD);
for(int i = 0; i<epNumProcesses; i++) {
char procname[255];
sprintf_s(procname, 255, "%s", epProcesses[i]);
}
|
Then you declare a string named procname an x amount of times which would cause a problem. And even if you could, you wouldn't be able to specify which procname variable you want to store it in.

I think you shouldn't compare the process names to check for a change. There can be multiple processes with the same names.
I would do something like this:
| Code: |
DWORD oldProcesses[1024], oldNumProcesses; //This contains the processes found in the previous loop. Should be global
DWORD epProcesses[1024], epByteRet, epNumProcesses;
BOOL found;
EnumProcesses(epProcesses, sizeof(epProcesses), &epByteRet);
epNumProcesses = epByteRet/sizeof(DWORD);
for(int i = 0; i<epNumProcesses; i++) {
//Check if the pid was already in the previous array
found = false;
for(int j = 0; j<oldNumProcesses; j++) {
if (epProcesses[i] == oldNumProcesses[j] ){
found = true;
}
}
if (!found){
//The process is new, do something with it
}
}
//Clear oldprocesses first, something like zeromemory? I don't know
zeromemory ( bla bla)
//Copy the new processes in the oldprocesses array
for(int i = 0; i<epNumProcesses; i++) {
//move the epProcesses into oldProcesses for next loop
oldProcesses[i] = epProcesses[i];
}
oldNumProcesses = epNumProcesses
|
(I'm not really good at C++ but it's something like that)

Thanks tombana. I got something like this after I read you thing:
| Code: |
DWORD epProcesses[1024], epByteRet, epNumProcesses;
EnumProcesses(epProcesses, sizeof(epProcesses), &epByteRet);
epNumProcesses = epByteRet/sizeof(DWORD);
//all my other coding here
BOOL bFound;
int i, j;
DWORD newProcesses[1024], newByteRet, newNumProcesses;
EnumProcesses(newProcesses, sizeof(newProcesses), &newByteRet);
newNumProcesses = newByteRet/sizeof(DWORD);
for(i = 0; i<newNumProcesses; i++) {
for(j = 0; j<epNumProcesses; j++) {
if(newProcesses[i] == epProcesses[j]) {
bFound = true;
}
else {
bFound = false;
}
}
}
if(!bFound) {
SendMessage(hList, LB_RESETCONTENT, NULL, NULL);
ListProcess();
}
ZeroMemory(&epProcesses, sizeof(epProcesses);
for(i = 0; i<newNumProcesses; i++) {
epProcesses[i] = newProcesses[i];
}
ZeroMemory(&newProcesses, sizeof(newProcesses);
|
I'm not quite sure if thats how you would use ZeroMemory on arrays, though. But when I compile it I can check it out. I do have a question, though. In this check I specifically want to check before hand to see if the process being injected into was closed or not. Since EnumProcesses returns the pid, is there an API that will get the process name by the process identifier. I tried looking up GetProcessNameById but couldn't find anything useful about it.

| I'm not sure, the only thing I could think of is CreateToolhelpSnapshot and loop through them but that's what you already had and it's kinda taking away the use of EnumProcesses

| OpenProcess(), followed by EnumProcessModules(), followed by GetModuleBaseName().
