Ability to see what User Application programs are active in Windows.

[cvier]

Have a need to be able to read which user applications that may be running in Windows. Basically the same info as would see in Task Manager >> Applications window.
Is there a function or method using SDK in CVI to retrieve this info. Assuming it
would return the application name as you would view in windows Task Manager.

Hi cvier.

You can use Windows SDK PSAPI functions. Click here for a relevant forum post.

I did find from labview forum one VI which does this. (Complete credit goes to Labview author)
Do you have labview? If not I can make dll and you can use it.

Was able to get psapi function code snippett on MSDN site to work. Verified its operation about 20 minutes ago. Works well, can retrieve all names of the processes
running on a WIN2000 computer. It was needed to confirm if a process was runing, if not,
then it woudl be launched.
