 |
|
Hey guys I am learning how to do this CreateTool32HelpSnapshot to get modules and process. I am stuck at the hProcessSnap, I want to check if the snapshot was successful. Why it is not working and not displaying when not successful anything?
| Code: | #include "stdfax.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "Proc.h"
using namespace std;
DWORD GetProcessID(const wchar_t* ProcessName)
{
DWORD ProcessID = 0;
HANDLE hProcessSnap;
hProcessSnap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0);
if (hProcessSnap == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
cout << "Process Not Found" << endl;
}
else
{
PROCESSENTRY32 ProcessEntry;
ProcessEntry.dwSize = sizeof(ProcessEntry);
if (Process32First(hProcessSnap, &ProcessEntry))
{
do
{
if (!_wcsicmp(ProcessEntry.szExeFile, ProcessName))
{
ProcessID = ProcessEntry.th32ProcessID;
break;
}
} while (Process32Next(hProcessSnap, &ProcessEntry));
}
}CloseHandle(hProcessSnap);
return ProcessID;

i think its because your dowhile loop, it should work like this:
- create snapshot
- pass handle to process32first (first process will be system) so ...
- execute process32next and compare exefile with the given file name

If CreateToolhelp32Snapshot failed, use GetLastError right after it to find out why.

snapprocess always succeeds, so it never fails, therefore you will never get any prints, as the rest of your code doesn't print anything

So even if you do error checking you won’t any errors? But what if let’s say the process is called process.exe and that what the snapshot is ment to find. If that process is not open what will the snapshot find then? Sorry new to this

Normally, you should refer to documentation (i.e. MSDN) first; however, in this case, it doesn't specify what happens if the PID isn't valid.
Test it yourself and see what happens.

snap_process finds all processes, not just one. (That's why it doesn't error out)
The code you gave will just return 0 if it's not in the list (no prints at all)
