Sara Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 I am trying to get the list of Applications/Processes currently running in the system using Task Manager's Applications/Processes tab. Any ideas as to how to do this using Autoit?

xcal Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Maybe explain better what you're trying to do, because the below looks like what want? $a = ProcessList() $list = 'Total Processes: ' & $a[0][0] & @CRLF & @CRLF For $i = 1 To $a[0][0] $list &= 'Process: ' & $a[$i][0] & ' (' & $a[$i][1] & ')' & @CRLF Next MsgBox(0, '', $list) Edited December 5, 2006 by xcal How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Bert Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 why do you need to read it directly from the task manager? serious question... The Vollatran project My blog: http://www.vollysinterestingshit.com/
Sara Posted December 5, 2006 Author Posted December 5, 2006 why do you need to read it directly from the task manager? serious question...I want to read the processes from "Task Manager", then compare them to the processes returned by ProcessList(). Worst case atleast make sure that "Processes" tab in "Task Manager" is not empty.I am able to navigate between Task Manager's 5 tabs using "ControlCommand", however the problem is that I am having hard time reading processes directly from "Task Manager". I tried to use ControlListView, no good results .I also want to make sure that "Applications" tab in "Task Manager" shows currently running applications. However I may not not validate it, just want to make sure that it is not empty.

Thanks.
GEOSoft Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 That's refering to line 680 of array.au3. It looks like you are also using an older version of that file. What version of AutoIt do you have installed? The new array.au3 file totally messes up some older code but I think I still have a replacement function or complete file that solves it.

Diana (Cda) Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Nope. Something else is wrong as I'm still getting an error despite all your great efforts. So problem might might very well lie elsewhere. This actually raises a question I've been meaning to ask for a couple of years but keep forgetting about -- how can we tell what version of AutoIt we actually have, pls? Once it's installed, when one clicks on the executable, all we get is a "Run Script" dialogue box that requests the filepath of an AU3 file. I don't know where to actually go for info on the version as no ABOUT reference seems to be accessible from that exe. I install any new version of AutoIt at home and then replace all the contents on the USB flash drive (Ufd) with the new install. This works extremely well for me. But I must admit that somewhere in the hectic, frenetic last couple of months, I might not have done the job properly, or as carefully as I normally do so I can't say for certain if I actually _have_ the latest version on the Ufd. In fact, don't even know anymore which version is on here. I gave up putting version numbers on the new "install" folder and just started deleting the old folder and dumping new version into place of old one, renaming to same old name so that it's just a generic "AutoIt" name with no version #. Within last several months I seemed to be upgrading all the time and it became a pain to have to keep making the changes to the path everywhere so that AI would still run (esp. with XPs' extreme unreliability with regards to file associations). If there is a way to know the actual version, then I can determine what's going on and perhaps from there can figure out where problem lies with this script. Thx.
MHz Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 So, anyone know what the deal is this time? <g> These errors sure get interesting ...Try using the UBound parameter of _ArraySort() since you have a multidimensional array. #Include<array.au3> $a = ProcessList() $List = "" _ArraySort($a, 0, 1, 1) For $i = 1 To $a[0][0] $list &= $a[$i][0] & @CRLF Next ClipPut($list)
