How can I find all PIDs (parent, child, and hidden)?
Also, If I can the correct PID for my game, how can I attach to it like how Cheat Engine does it. Basically I want to make an auto-heal bot.

1- Find PID.
2- Attach to corresponding PID.
3- Load static pointer health address.
4- If value in health address is lower than 2000 Then SendKey "1".
5- Do loop until value in health address is => 2000.

i'm not sure with this technical thing, btw if we get the hwnd of the form, is it we can only SendKey but not reading the address for that process?

For your first question, take a look at this code:
http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=6090&lngWId=10

It should explain how to locate all the information needed for what you are asking. (Some processes hide from the task manager which will not show up using these methods of obtaining the process information.)

As for connecting to the process, you would use the OpenProcess API.

1. Process class in System.Diagnostics.

2. System.Runtime.InteropServices and pinvoke OpenProcess and all the other API calls you need. pinvoke.net is a good spot for getting the signatures (it's better to learn how to do it yourself, but this is the lazy way out)

3/4. ReadProcessMemory

5. SendInput I guess would be your best bet for to simulate mashing a key.
