OpenProcess
The OpenProcess function returns a handle of an existing process object.
HANDLE OpenProcess(
DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
| // access flag
| BOOL bInheritHandle,
| // handle inheritance flag
| DWORD dwProcessId
| // process identifier
| );
|
|
Parameters
dwDesiredAccess
Specifies the access to the process object. For operating systems that support
security checking, this access is checked against any security descriptor for
the target process. Any combination of the following access flags can be
specified in addition to the STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED access flags:
Access
| Description
| PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS
| Specifies all possible access flags for the process object.
| PROCESS_CREATE_PROCESS
| Used internally.
| PROCESS_CREATE_THREAD
| Enables using the process handle in the CreateRemoteThread function to create a thread in the process.
| PROCESS_DUP_HANDLE
| Enables using the process handle as either the source or target process in the DuplicateHandle function to duplicate a handle.
| PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION
| Enables using the process handle in the GetExitCodeProcess and GetPriorityClass functions to read information from the process object.
| PROCESS_SET_INFORMATION
| Enables using the process handle in the SetPriorityClass function to set the priority class of the process.
| PROCESS_TERMINATE
| Enables using the process handle in the TerminateProcess function to terminate the process.
| PROCESS_VM_OPERATION
| Enables using the process handle in the VirtualProtectEx and WriteProcessMemory functions to modify the virtual memory of the process.
| PROCESS_VM_READ
| Enables using the process handle in the ReadProcessMemory function to read from the virtual memory of the process.
| PROCESS_VM_WRITE
| Enables using the process handle in the WriteProcessMemory function to write to the virtual memory of the process.
| SYNCHRONIZE
| Windows NT only: Enables using the process handle in any of the wait functions to wait for the process to terminate.
|
bInheritHandle
Specifies whether the returned handle can be inherited by a new process
created by the current process. If TRUE, the handle is inheritable.
dwProcessId
Specifies the process identifier of the process to open.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is an open handle of the specified
process.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The handle returned by the OpenProcess function can be used in any function that requires a handle to a process,
such as the wait functions, provided the appropriate access rights were requested.
When you are finished with the handle, be sure to close it using the CloseHandle function.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
