[RESOLVED]Get a List of Running Processes

[trueboss926]

I am making a program which shows all system information , and inside a Richtextbox I would like it to show list of running processes. However I would like to dim the entire list , so for example :

Dim processes as String

processes =  (code to get list of running processes)

then I could display it easily in a message box or in a textbox

Msgbox(processes) 
textbox1.text = processes

Hope any of this makes sense.

I have to ask, have you done a Google search. I literally had 1000s of Answers searching for ".net list processes". You should find examples using this method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1f3ys1f9.aspx

Hi

another addition...

using a messagebox is likely going to end up with a box so big it doesnt fit on the screen, look into using a custom form with a listbox so your can scroll through and keep the ui tidy, and there is no point putting it into a string as it comes in a list anyway, just put it straight to the listbox.

Okay I looked and tried the following code, for a button event:

  
 Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim localAll As Process() = Process.GetProcesses()
        MsgBox(localAll.ToString)
    End Sub

The message box displays "System.Diagostics.Process[]" . In my case I want to incorporate the list into a richtextbox. I used a messagebox as an example to see if it would display correctly. Since messagebox shows just plain text, I tried to display it on richtextbox but instead it shows the same message.

As I said , I would like to put them inside a richtextbox format.

Process has many properties, if you just want to list their names in a RTB you could try something like,

Dim procNames As String = String.Empty
Dim localAll As Process() = Process.GetProcesses()
For Each p In localAll
    procNames &= p.ProcessName & Environment.NewLine
Next
RichTextBox1.Text = procNames
