  • Task Manager Emulator

    This program displays a listview with information on all running processes, retrieved from NtQuerySystemInformation. It will probably only run on Win2K or greater.

    The columns can be sorted and also reordered (via drag and drop). You can track/untrack a certain process by selecting a row, which will be shown in yellow. Data that has changed inbetween refreshes will be shown in green or blue, depending on if the data has decreased or increased.

    You may do whatever you want with the code. Enjoy.

    Hey Bud,

    To avoid the listview horizontal and vertical scrollbar
    position to be resetted at each timer call
    one may consider adding following code

    Great work by the way...

    Pierre

    Code:
    After this line: CASE %WM_REFRESHLISTVIEW  'this message is sent from %WM_INITDIALOG and %WM_TIMER, so the listview can refresh at startup or during the timer
    Add            : LOCAL LvSbPosX AS LONG
    Add            : LOCAL LvSbPosY AS LONG
    Add            : LOCAL LvRcSize AS RECT
    Add            : SendMessage(hListView, %LVM_GETITEMRECT, BYVAL %NULL, BYVAL VARPTR(LvRcSize))
    Add            : LvSbPosY = GetScrollPos(hListView, %SB_VERT) * (LvRcSize.nBottom - LvRcSize.nTop) 'Get vertical scrollbar position
    Add            : LvSbPosX = GetScrollPos(hListView, %SB_HORZ) 'Get horizontal scrollbar position
     
    Then...    
    After this line: '-- allow the listview to redraw:
    add            : PostMessage(hListView, %LVM_SCROLL, LvSbPosX, LvSbPosY) 'Set horizontal and vertical scrollbar position

      That's a nice improvement, Pierre. It was annoying for the scrollbars to reset each time (which I believe is due to the use of %LVM_DELETEALLITEMS).

      A much more annoying issue was the refresh flicker, which I have basically eliminated thanks to the following line:
      Code:
      ValidateRect(CBHNDL, BYVAL 0)
      Unfortunately, your scrolling trick still causes flicker when the horizontal scrollbar is not furthest left, and I haven't figured out a way to prevent that.

      I've also updated the code so that the columns will automatically figure out their widths by measuring some sample text. Now the font size can be changed without having to readjust the starting widths of the columns.
