I need a list of all running applications with related exe files and window
handles.
Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Hi Stoyan:

Take a look at the code in this article:

188404 HOWTO: Use API Calls to Detect Other Running Applications
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;188404

I hope this helps.

Hi Stoyan Malchev:

I don't think I have code to list all the running EXE names. Any code to do
this would be API code. You might look on the Download section of
www.universalthread.com and see if you can find a tool that lists the
running EXE names. (You do not need to be a member of UT to search the
download site.)

Look at this article:

121242 How To Produce a List of Other Applications Running in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;121242

If you do not get any answers here, I would join Universalthread.com (it is
free) and post this question on their VFP forum.
