We are using VB script in order to get all the process list of system which was working fine before we tried to use 64 bit executable because vb script is not compatible with 64 bit. The previous code is given below.

 

OleObject mssc
int li_rc, i
string ls_code, ls_res
Any res

mssc = CREATE OleObject
li_rc = mssc.ConnectToNewObject( "MSScriptControl.ScriptControl" )
mssc.language = "VBScript"

ls_code = "function services() ~r~nstrComputer=~".~"~r~nSet objWMIService = GetObject(~"winmgmts:~"" + &
"& ~"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\~" & strComputer & ~"\root\cimv2~")~r~n" + &
"Set colProcesses = objWMIService.ExecQuery(~"select * from win32_process~" )~r~n" + &
"s = ~"~"~r~nFor Each objProcess In colProcesses~r~n" + &
" s = s & objProcess.ProcessId & ~",~"~r~nNext~r~nservices = s~r~nend function"

mssc.AddCode(ls_code)
ls_res = string(mssc.Eval("services()"))

The above code return a string (comma separated) of all the processes IDs.

Can someone help to replace above code for 64 bit, any function of PB or something which can run successfully on 64 bit system.

  2. Script
PB Demo DB install
PowerBuilder core runtime dll's

You can do it fairly easily using Windows API functions directly from your PowerBuilder app. The process is explained here:

Hi Faisal;

   Suggestion:  As a workaround in case you cannot get your approach to work in the 64bit realm ... how about creating a 32bit App that uses your OLE approach but returns the process list to the 64bit calling App of the processes it needs to look at?

Regards ... Chris

That's a good suggestion and would go with it if no other option works.

Definitely I would like to get it working without maintaining a separate application. Please let me know if there is a solution. Thanks

Hi Chris

Is there anyway that we can check that whether specific process is running or not. May be a a function of PB or some window dll which takes PID as input parameter and returns the result of its existence/running?

What about using the "GetProcessId " MS-Windows API?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your support. I have looked into provided solution and found that it returns processed IDs of only running windows. Previously shared VB script is returning 209 process IDs while the solution returns only 44. I am looking to get all the process IDs even if these running in background.

It displays 659 total processes but if we talk about unique processes these are 44 only while VB code give you 209 unique processes.

Ahhh .. Yes, I do not distill the list down to "unique" list of processes. I just list all that I can find in the order that I see them in all the MS-Windows control blocks (RCE's = Resource Control Elements).

Moreover you are getting PROC IDs on the basis on windows. What to do to get PID of background process?

Hi Faisal;

  I can do all that in either a native PB 32 or 64 bit App. Have a look at my MS-Windows "Process Explorer" App for code examples.
