Physical RAM

Hi,

Is there a way of getting the amount of memory under Win9x/NT/2000?

Thanks in advance

Why, of course there is! :D

Create a new standard project and put a CommandButton (Command1) on the form.
Then, use this code:

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Type MEMORYSTATUS
        dwLength As Long
        dwMemoryLoad As Long
        dwTotalPhys As Long
        dwAvailPhys As Long
        dwTotalPageFile As Long
        dwAvailPageFile As Long
        dwTotalVirtual As Long
        dwAvailVirtual As Long
End Type

Private Declare Sub GlobalMemoryStatus Lib "kernel32" (lpBuffer As MEMORYSTATUS)

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim MS As MEMORYSTATUS ' Declare MEMORYSTATUS structure
    Dim sMsg As String
   
    MS.dwLength = Len(MS) ' Determine the size of the structure (required for compatibility)
    Call GlobalMemoryStatus(MS) ' Fill the structure with information
   
    ' Now, MS.dwAvailPhys is the amount of available RAM (in bytes)
    ' and MB.dwTotalPhys is the amount of total RAM (in bytes).
    ' To determine the amount in megabytes you need to divide by 2^20 (1048576).
    ' You can use CLng to remove the remainder.
   
    sMsg = "You have " & CLng(MS.dwAvailPhys / 2 ^ 20) & " megabytes of RAM available, out" & vbCrLf
    sMsg = sMsg & "of " & CLng(MS.dwTotalPhys / 2 ^ 20) & " bytes of RAM. ("
    ' Determine percentage:
    sMsg = sMsg & CLng(MS.dwAvailPhys / MS.dwTotalPhys * 100)
    sMsg = sMsg & "% free)"
   
    Call MsgBox(sMsg, vbExclamation)
End Sub

Hi,
You can use api call.

Thank you very much for the information. I really appreciate that.
