i am trying to attach a program i have written to MapleStory using the following method:
FindWindow()
GetWindowThreadProcessID()
OpenProcess()

However the ThreadProcessID is not being returned with the API Call.

I have tested this method on DukeNukem3D and it worked fine, however I think Gameguard is somehow blocking the GetWindowThreadProcessID() API

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to open the process?

EDIT:
ok, i found a way to get the WindowThreadProcessID, all though i don't paticularly like it and am still looking for a better way.


method im using:
Dim RetVal as long
retval=(shell("C:\Maplestory\MapleStory.exe",1))


retval holds the PorcessID, so i can then open the process, however i don't want to have to shell MS, i want to be able to open the process the way CE does, could someone pls explain how this works?
