Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2023 6:19 pm Post subject: I want a list of a specific process

I use the following code,
But it gives me a list of all the processes.
I want it to give me a list only for the "chrome.exe" process
anyone can help me fix the code please?

Code:

f = createForm()
control_setSize(f, 400,400)
control_setCaption(f, "Process List")
setProperty(f , "BiDiMode", "bdLeftToRight")

list = createListBox(f)
x,y = control_getSize(f)
control_setSize(list, x-10, y-30)
control_setPosition(list, 5,5)

button1 = createButton(f)
button2 = createButton(f)
button3 = createButton(f)
control_setSize(button1, 80, 20)
control_setSize(button2, 80, 20)
control_setSize(button3, 80, 20)
control_setCaption(button1, "Get Processes")
control_setCaption(button2, "Clear")
control_setCaption(button3, "Attach")

control_setPosition(button1, 50,y-22)
control_setPosition(button2, 150,y-22)
control_setPosition(button3, 250,y-22)

Items = listbox_getItems(list)

TempTable = {}
function GetTheProcessList()
local SL=createStringlist()
getProcesslist(SL)
for i=0,strings_getCount(SL)-1 do
local entry = strings_getString(SL,i)
local processname = entry:sub(10,255)
local PID = tonumber('0x'..entry:sub(1,8))
TempTable[i] = {PID, processname}
end
return TempTable
end

function AddTheProcessList()
GetTheProcessList()
index = 0
for y in pairs (TempTable) do
index = index+1
end
for i=0, index-1 do
if TempTable[i]~='' and TempTable[i]~= nil then
local TempText = "Process ID : "..TempTable[i][1].." Process Name : "..TempTable[i][2]
strings_add(Items, TempText)
end
end
end
function GetAndAddProcess()
TempTable = {}
strings_clear(Items)
AddTheProcessList()
end

function Clear()
TempTable = {}
strings_clear(Items)
end

function AttachToTheSelectedProcess()
local ProcessID = listbox_getItemIndex(list)
if ProcessID~=-1 then
if TempTable[ProcessID][1]~=nil then
openProcess(TempTable[ProcessID][1])
else
return showMessage("Failed to open the select process")
end
else
return showMessage("Please choose a process from the list")
end
end

control_onClick(button1,GetAndAddProcess)
control_onClick(button2,Clear)
control_onClick(button3,AttachToTheSelectedProcess)

I guess that's the part to change:

Code:

function AddTheProcessList()
GetTheProcessList()
index = 0
for y in pairs (TempTable) do
index = index+1
end
for i=0, index-1 do
if TempTable[i]~='' and TempTable[i]~= nil then
local TempText = "Process ID : "..TempTable[i][1].." Process Name : "..TempTable[i][2]
strings_add(Items, TempText)
end
end
end

Try this edited script. The added code will give you an idea.

Added a box and button to filter.
If the box is empty, it will print all processes.

Ahh.. I didn't get a chance to test this, could you please test it for me.

Code:

f = createForm()
f.Height=430
f.Width=400
control_setCaption(f, "Process List")
setProperty(f , "BiDiMode", "bdLeftToRight")

list = createListBox(f)
x,y = control_getSize(f)
control_setSize(list, x-10, y-30)
control_setPosition(list, 5,5)

button1 = createButton(f)
button2 = createButton(f)
button3 = createButton(f)
control_setSize(button1, 80, 20)
control_setSize(button2, 80, 20)
control_setSize(button3, 80, 20)
control_setCaption(button1, "Get Processes")
control_setCaption(button2, "Clear")
control_setCaption(button3, "Attach")

control_setPosition(button1, 50,y-50)
control_setPosition(button2, 150,y-50)
control_setPosition(button3, 250,y-50)

button4 = createButton(f)
control_setSize(button4, 80, 20)
control_setCaption(button4, "Filter")
control_setPosition(button4, 160,y-22)

edit1 = createEdit(f)
edit1.Width=100
edit1.left=50 edit1.top= y-22
edit1.Text = "chrome.exe"

Items = listbox_getItems(list)

TempTable = {}
function GetTheProcessList()
local SL=createStringlist()
getProcesslist(SL)
for i=0,strings_getCount(SL)-1 do
local entry = strings_getString(SL,i)
local processname = entry:sub(10,255)
local PID = tonumber('0x'..entry:sub(1,8))
TempTable[i] = {PID, processname}
end
return TempTable
end

function AddTheProcessList()
GetTheProcessList()
index = 0
for y in pairs (TempTable) do
index = index+1
end
for i=0, index-1 do
if TempTable[i]~='' and TempTable[i]~= nil then
local TempText = "Process ID : "..TempTable[i][1].." Process Name : "..TempTable[i][2]
strings_add(Items, TempText)
end
end
end
function GetAndAddProcess()
TempTable = {}
strings_clear(Items)
AddTheProcessList()
end

function Clear()
TempTable = {}
strings_clear(Items)
end

function AttachToTheSelectedProcess()
local ProcessID = listbox_getItemIndex(list)
if ProcessID~=-1 then
if TempTable[ProcessID][1]~=nil then
openProcess(TempTable[ProcessID][1])
else
return showMessage("Failed to open the select process")
end
else
return showMessage("Please choose a process from the list")
end
end

function filterProcess()
-- for i,k in pairs (TempTable) do
-- TempTable[i][1]=nil
-- TempTable[i][2]=nil
-- end
TempTable = {}
strings_clear(Items)
GetTheProcessList()
index = 0
for y in pairs (TempTable) do
index = index+1
end
for i=0, index-1 do
if edit1.text~="" then
if TempTable[i]~='' and TempTable[i]~= nil then
local TempText = "Process ID : "..TempTable[i][1].." Process Name : "..TempTable[i][2]
if TempTable[i][2]==edit1.Text then
strings_add(Items, TempText)
end
end
else
if TempTable[i]~='' and TempTable[i]~= nil then
local TempText = "Process ID : "..TempTable[i][1].." Process Name : "..TempTable[i][2]
strings_add(Items, TempText)
end
end
end
end

control_onClick(button1,GetAndAddProcess)
control_onClick(button2,Clear)
control_onClick(button3,AttachToTheSelectedProcess)
control_onClick(button4,filterProcess)

Here is the next problem: "There is more than one 'chrome.exe' in the process list. How can I find the right process? Solution; Probably your game will be in the process that uses the most memory in Chrome (otherwise you can see it in a certain memory range all the time), and for this you need a listing method that will also show you the memory used by the "chrome.exe" processes.

Solution;

Probably your game will be in the process that uses the most memory in Chrome (otherwise you can see it in a certain memory range all the time), and for this you need a listing method that will also show you the memory used by the "chrome.exe" processes.

Your code is fine, it's not for chrome.exe, it was just an example.
But I have another problem.

The specific process "Game.exe",

Only he appears in my list, exactly as I wanted

but...

When I click attach, it actually does Attach to the original index from the full list,

It actually does not select the correct index :/
