[au3scr]

ProcessPause(<"Process Name or PID">, <flag>)

Freeze a process.

<flag> is 0 to freeze the first occurrence, 1 to freeze all occurrences.

Hi! Try this:

_ProcessPauseSwitch("ProcName.exe", True) 
Sleep(3000) 
_ProcessPauseSwitch("ProcName.exe", False) 
 
Func _ProcessPauseSwitch($iPIDOrName, $iSuspend = True) 
    If IsString($iPIDOrName) Then $iPIDOrName = ProcessExists($iPIDOrName) 
    If Not $iPIDOrName Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0) 
    Local $ai_Handle = DllCall("kernel32.dll", 'int', 'OpenProcess', 'int', 0x1f0fff, 'int', False, 'int', $iPIDOrName) 
    If $iSuspend Then 
        Local $i_sucess = DllCall("ntdll.dll", "int", "NtSuspendProcess", "int", $ai_Handle[0]) 
    Else 
        Local $i_sucess = DllCall("ntdll.dll", "int", "NtResumeProcess", "int", $ai_Handle[0]) 
    EndIf 
    DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'ptr', 'CloseHandle', 'ptr', $ai_Handle) 
    If IsArray($i_sucess) Then Return 1 
    Return SetError(2, 0, 0) 
EndFunc

Well I will give this a try. In the example you gave, what does this part do:

Func _ProcessPauseSwitch($iPIDOrName, $iSuspend = True)

It seems like it accepts a 2nd parameter, and then sets it to 'TRUE'. Please explain.

Second parameter is to suspend(true) or resume(false).

Second parameter is to suspend(true) or resume(false).

I understand that what the parameter is being used for in the function. I don't however understand why its being set to 'TRUE' right @ the start. In my mind, that function will never hit the ELSE stmt because its always being set to true right in the start of the function. Now I'm guessing thats not whats going on, and I'm looking for an explanation of what that first part does:

Func _ProcessPauseSwitch($iPIDOrName, $iSuspend = True)

It's the default, if you don't supply a second parameter.

OOOH That makes sense. That is pretty cool! I'll have to start using that in my code b/c I have had a lot of places I didn't always want to include a parameter, and I kept getting the ol "Incorrect Number of Subscripts".
