Win32 process notification

Win32 process notification

Win32 process notification

(OP)
I need to be able to fire a specified event based on the results of new processes starting on the system.
I suppose the real question is whether I can intercept new processes to determine if they meet certain criteria, so I can execute other commands based on the result.

Is this clear?????

TIA...

RE: Win32 process notification

You can intercept the windows messages and get the window information if I undersatnd you right!

RE: Win32 process notification

(OP)
Ok, now the big question....

How?

What I want to do is create a simple process that will intercept all calls to the O/S to execute a program. Then, if the program being executed meets certain criteria execute a given command.

Example:

OnNewProcess(PID)
{
 If (PID = "this process")
 {
 DoThisCommand();
 }
}

RE: Win32 process notification

OnNewProcess(PID)
{
 If (PID = "this process")
 {
  // send a user message to the class where you want
  // DoThisCommand to be carried out
 }
}

check out the MSDN document about WM_USER and how to use it.
