 Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2025 8:40 am Post subject: What Should a Process List Module Include? |
 |
|
I've been working on a ProcessList module that's not very different.
But sometimes ideas get stuck.
Before publishing the current version in a related article, I discussed some technical issues with DarkByte and received solutions.
We need your feedback on functionality.
The version in the image will give you an idea of some of the features.
What the current version does:
1) Displays process IDs in decimal and hexadecimal format.
2) Shows the memory consumed by the application. (From top to bottom, high to low)
3) Prints a caption or title, if applicable.
4) The process list can be filtered and listed by a specific program or text.
5) The list can be updated optionally.
6) The selected process can be killed. (Forces the application to close.)
7) The selected process connects to CE.
 A checklist can be used to automatically filter the list on each startup. (Not active by default. It can be activated by clicking the "Apply" button.)
The module is packaged with 4 lua files and 2 folders (Module folder and Icon folder) and is ready for use.
So, what more could be added to this module?
Please share your thoughts in the comments.

| I would have an option to locate the target folder the selected resides in.

Actually, there's pidPath in the code.
Okay, that function will be revealed with this idea.
Thanks for the feedback.

You're right, @DB. There's a function in the archive (I last came across it in a reply by @atom0s.)
I was using this code to find and retrieve the icon path.
Now I've added a popup to the right-click menu that prints or opens the folder path for the selected line.
| Code: | function getProcessPath(name)
for pid, pname in pairs(getProcessList()) do
if pname and pname:lower() == name:lower() then
local mods = enumModules(pid)
if mods and mods[1] and mods[1].PathToFile then
return mods[1].PathToFile
end
end
end
end
print(extractFilePath(getProcessPath("chrome.exe"))) |
It took me a while to create a right-click menu in ListView. Apparently, the logic behind it wasn't equivalent to a single click. 
It was easy to click and execute a button action.
However, right-clicking didn't simulate clicking on a line.
The "OnMouseDown" control helped with this.
Fortunately, I mapped the "Selected Path" and "Kill Process" functions to right-click, and they work.

I use this built-in feature for filtering processes.
I can see most of the time only 1 or 2 processes.
Gets the job done for me so I did not really look for anything better
Good work though! Does your code honour that built-in filter?

Unfortunately, I've changed the code processed by enumModules.
This is because if there are multiple .txt files, it gives them all the following path:
| Code: | | C:\Windows\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE |
However, the newly created code produces the following output:
| Code: | EXE: C:\Windows\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE
Parametre [1]:
Parametre [2]: C:\Users\PC\OneDrive\PC1\Cheat Engine 7.5\autorun\ProcessMemModules\pmMain.lua |
| Code: | EXE: C:\Users\PC\OneDrive\PC1\Cheat Engine 7.5\cheatengine-x86_64.exe
Parametre [1]: C:\Users\PC\Games_Code1\CELua\CE-ProcessList-Icon-Memory.CT
Parametre [2]: |
I think when I share the article it will give me some ideas for the archive.

Ahh, of course...
Probably not as many as your entire list.
But there's a "Process Filter" code that will allow you to block entries as they occur and create an updated list.
On first use, it starts without a default filter.
When you click the "Apply" button (from the CheckListBox panel. The Apply button is on the second image), the list you specified will be blocked with the filter every time it's opened.
