Get Only The Processes In Taskmgr?
Apr 22, 2010is there a way to only get the processes that are shown in taskmgr?
The reason for this is because taskmgr hides some task on vista because you have to be admin to see all of it.

I currently have the following up in VS 2010
Dim myProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("calc")
For Each myKill As Process In myProcess
myKill.Kill()
However I cannot seem to get it to kill more than one process. Example I've tried
("calc",mspaint")
("calc,mspaint")
("calc"),("mspaint")
For some time ago i have notice that my App on every start make a call to csc.exe and starts it. I know for sure that that did not happened before and I can not find out why this is happening now, or better to say: what did I do in code to make this happened? I have google-it and found out that csc.exe is some kind off on-the-fly compiler for C# (If I understand it correctly ) but my App is in VB.net so I am a bit confused. Can someone explain it to me in general what have I did in my VB.NET code to make my App on every start calls csc.exe?

i have a small issue while developing a windows application using VB.Net . i will explain the scenario here. My application contains one form which has two tab buttons. say tab1 and tab2. In tab1, i have an option to download data from various sites. this takes few minutes. lets say 15 minutes. and in tab2 i have an option to view the logs. my problem is i am unable to click the tab2 unless and untill the downloading finish. my doubt is how to do more than processes at the same time. if i am right we need to use threading concept here.
View 1 RepliesI have a need to search for a specific process in task manager and attach (dock) my application to the window for that process. I have this working just fine. The problem I'm having is that sometimes this process may be running more than once (for example: running two Internet Explorers would put two iexplore.exe entries in Task Manager).
Is there a way to get the one that was opened first? I'm not sure how they get "sorted" in the Process list, but currently I am retrieving the first occurrence of the process and docking to it, but I'm finding that it isn't always the correct one. How can I make it always dock to the process entry that was opened first?

I'm building my first application in VB2010, this application consists of running 3 different programs; one after the other. I use a progress bar for task progress. My question is on how to make the application go to the next program after finishing with the previous one? Here is some of the code:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
ProgressBar1.Increment(1)

I'm working on a Parental control
I have 3 questions:
1) How to detect a starting process -
Solved here
2) How to capture a copy of the process and look in all controls from all forms to see if the Text/Items property has offensive keywords
3) If yes, how to close them immediately. - myProcess.kill
Write your code as efficient as you can to reduce CPU load, to consume less energy and protect our planet from global warming.
I have done a lot of searching and cannot find a solution to my problem of, my application appearing in the processes even after exit.
Note: It doesnt appear in the processes due to the type of exit i have used after the click function happens.

it works. it gets process names (but without extentions) what i want to do now is to get the image path of each process. i think i will have to use a different control probably data grid view. can somebody tell me how to add items to datagridview instead of listbox? and how to get each process image path( to data grid view)?

View 3 RepliesI have a program that instantiates Excel, programatically updates it, and then closes it. In some cases, when I look in the task manager/processes, I can still see 1 or more copies of Excel running.
1) Is there a way I can, after creating an object reference to Excel, identify the PID or some other unique identification?
2) Using that, is there a way, after I think I have told Excel to go away, to see if the PID (or whatever) is still active?
3) Given that I have a PID, can I get a new object reference and try to tell it to go away nicely
4) If it still won't go away, can I force an end process of the task?
5) Is there a library or routine available that will return the active processes so I can search to see if there are any copies of Excel still running?
6) using the approach in 5, can I also find out if the item associated with the PID is running just as a process and not as an application?
I want to be able to cycle through the active processes on the system and find when my program starts? It has the name 'Calculate Distance' as the form1.vb text. There fore, I want to be able to close a splash screen when the form1 loads. This requires checking currently running processes. How do I do that in VB.NET 2005?

I made an application that helps facilitate malware removal by running a bunch of different CLI scanners at once; among other things.
The app was made to run in normal and safe mode. The problem, is that since it has been made to run in normal mode, it essentially becomes useless if the malware has installed a rootkit that kills executables as they open or if they've messed with the exe file association in the registry.
So, to get my app to run, I thought to do 2 things.
First, change the file association of my app to either .com, scr, or .pif so that it can still launch but won't be affected by messed up reg keys or identified by the rootkit.
But, I still need to worry about that rootkit for the other apps.
So I thought to just kill all non essential processes.
What would be the best way to accomplish this?
I thought of two different ways:
I could either have a pre-compiled list of system processes that need to stay running or when looping through the processes, I can identify each by a specific property, like company name or something else.
I'm trying to create a small productivity program to keep myself focused when programming; specifically, to close any processes that might distract me from doing my job.What is the easiest way to kill all processes listed in a listBox? I already know how to add the processes to my listBox with this code: [code]This adds the processes to the listBox very neatly and all, exactly how I want it. I have a timer that gets enabled with the press of a button that should close all processes in the listBox.

I want to loop through the processes on the machine, and I know what the name of my executable is, but it could conflict possibly with a same named executable. It is OneSpot.exe - so is there some other better method of detection to know that it is the right one?
View 5 RepliesWe recently have one problem started where we have two processes monitor the same queue, but the diff b/w both is, one does the PEEK only and the other process it as soon as the message arrives (event driven). Do you think that pointing these 2 processes to the same que cause any problems OR are there something special sync things we need to do?
View 6 RepliesI need to start multiple processes, with minimized windows - and I don't want whatever the current process is to lose focus.Something like this should be simple enough:
[Code]...
However, whatever application is running will lose focus when this code is executed. I've looked high and low, and there doesn't seem to be any relatively simple way to do this. I had some ideas about capturing whatever application has focus (I don't want to assume my program has focus), then running the above code, and then restoring focus. However, I'm fairly certain this will require win32 API calls, and I'm not sure how to do that.
Is it possible in visual basic to suspend and resume processes. As in entirely pause a process (threads)?I mean an external thread. I'm using Visual Basic 2010 Express btw.
