Help: _WinAPI_GetCurrentProcess() return -1

[stinger]

I've wrote a sample code to get my proc handle but dont know why it always return 0xffffffff

Here's my code

#include <WinAPI.au3>
$hwnd = _WinAPI_GetCurrentProcess()
$procid = _WinAPI_GetCurrentProcessID()
MsgBox(0, "Info", $hwnd)
MsgBox(0, "Info", $procid)

GetCurrentProcessID is working good but GetCurrentProcess does not work, there's no error. Am i missing something ?

This is a confusion in the description. _WinAPI_GetCurrentProcess() returns a pseudo handle of the current process, not a real handle.

#Include <WinAPI.au3>

$PID = _WinAPI_GetCurrentProcessID()
$hProcess = _WinAPI_GetCurrentProcess()
$Ret = DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'bool', 'DuplicateHandle', 'ptr', $hProcess, 'ptr', $hProcess, 'ptr', $hProcess, 'ptr*', 0, 'dword', 0, 'bool', 0, 'dword', 2)

ConsoleWrite('PID:           ' & $PID & @CR)
ConsoleWrite('Pseudo handle: ' & $hProcess & @CR)
ConsoleWrite('Real handle:   ' & $Ret[4] & @CR)

Thanks alot for your reply.

So... what's the difference to @AutoItPID?

Edit:

Reread the post and realized that you wanted to obtain the process handle ... and also that the "Delete" post does not seem to work.
