 |
|
Hy all,
Need help to find how to do what i want to do, that is:
After made a GUI in C# with frameworks 4.0, i want the program to be constant watching when a specific process is runing and when its found do (something*). Already searched the net for some related articles, but none of them seemed to helped me. For now im using the timer ability at the start of the program to do what i need to be done, but i know theres a better way to solve this, but i guess it passes me.
Any help at all is really apreciated.
Best Regards GRB

it does the job, but if i want to past text of whats happening to a debug window theres the problem.
Its always saying:
"not found"
"not found"
"not found"
"not found"
"not found"
"not found"
"not found"
every time the timer ticks.

Post a code snippet. Sounds like you just need to change the code a bit and instead of have it display a message when "not found" have it display when found.

For that i could take the the listbox1.item.add("not found"); out of there, lol, i really wanted it to say found or not found, other way around this is to use listbox1.clear(); so only 1 line appear, what i really want is not to use the timers for that.
I know theres some way to do it like c++ and even c# console can do it, with the
static void main()
{
while (*****)
{}
}
but i dont know the way to do it with the c# windows.form couse if i put it on the start of the program the gui will never show or it will be on constant loop.
And no the GUI dont have any bottons on it, thats the problem.
Heres the snippet
| Code: | public void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Process.GetProcesses().Any(prc => prc.ProcessName.Contains("notepad")))
{
listBox1.Items.Clear();
listBox1.Items.Add("Found");
timer2.Start();
timer1.Stop();
}
else
{
listBox1.Items.Clear();
listBox1.Items.Add("NOT Found");
}
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50);
} |
Other question, why System.Threading.Thread.Sleep makes a sleep on all computer instead of only sleep my application? its strange that it acts that way.

If you want to just display found or not found use a single label, no reason to use a list box. Don't use Sleep inside timers either, they have a interval for that purpose.

wiccann its not to show found or not found, the listbox is were the debug part is, so i can see if the program is reading the right offsets, i dont care for found or not found, so far the program is runing well but i dont want to use timers :/
Here is some pics to you understand it better
P.S- Program wasnt runing, it was waiting on process to start thats why the stats and pics are wrong.

I'm not sure whats wrong with the timer part.. using a thread is more work and more prone to cause errors when closing the application. A timer will automatically cleanup for you.
Basically the only other way to monitor for the process is through a thread. (Without going into any bits of extremes.)

If you are writing a debugger why use a timer anyway. Just have your app throw an exception if you try to click on anything if the app is not found. Return MessageBox.Show("Error!", "The application " + myApp + " was not found!", MB_OK);

Just have a global bool on your form class stating whether or not the app is running, then update and do a comparison per tick.
| Code: | bool isGameRunning = false;
Process GameProcess = null;
...
void tmrGameCheck_Tick(...) {
Process[] pl = Process.GetProcessesByName("game.exe");
if(pl.Length == 0)
{
if(isGameRunning) {
Debug.WriteLine("Game exited.");
Process = null;
isGameRunning = false;
}
} else {
if(!isGameRunning) {
Debug.WriteLine("Found game process.");
Process = pl[0];
isGameRunning = true;
}
}
} |
That way it only shows the debug message and updates the process object if the state changes from not found to found, or vice versa.
