ProcessInfo 1.2 is released

Hi,

ProcessInfo 1.2 is released. The changes in this release are:

• SuspendThread, ResumeThread, TerminateThread methods are added to TThreadItem class. Now you can pause/resume/terminate any running thread in a given process.
• TProcessInfo.Active and TAppInfo.Active are published properties, and can be set in design mode.
• TProcessInfo.RunningProcesses and TAppInfo.RunningApplications automatically populate the corresponding list if UpdateList method is not called yet. This means even if you don’t activate any of these two components, or call their UpdateList method, accessing RunningProcesses or RunningApplications does not cause Access Violation.

To download ProcessInfo 1.2, please go to ProcessInfo page.

Regards.

Component Toolbar slows down RAD Studio 2010

In RAD Studio 2010 there is a new IDE feature called Component Toolbar. This feature provides a component palette similar to the old Delphi component palette.

This toolbar provides a nice search box which is able to filter components in the palette based on the search phrase. This toolbar is disabled by default, and is shown when Classic Layout is selected. Here you can see a snapshot of Classic Layout in RAD Studio 2010:

A few weeks ago while I was working with Delphi 2010, I noticed a delay when switching from code view to form designer. The delay was there not only in the complex forms, but also in simple empty forms! It was not a big delay (about 1 second), but since I had to switch between code and form designer view many times, it was really annoying, so I decided to investigate it and find out what is causing this delay.

ProcessInfo 1.1 is released

Hi,

I released a new version of ProcessInfo. In this release I added these features:

• Enumerators are added for Windows, Threads, Modules, and Processes; Now you can use for-in statements in D2007 and above for iterating on running processes list, or modules\threads\windows of a given process.
• TProcessItem.UserName is added; This property returns domain name\user name which is running the process.
• TProocessInfo.AdjustDebugPrivilage is added; This method is called automatically.
  TThreadItem.ToString & TProcessItem.ToString are added; TThreadItem.ToString returns ThreadID. TProcess.ToString returns process EXE name.
• Now supports Delphi 7,2007,2009, 2010; Some conditional compiler directives are added so that it can be used in D7, 2007, 2009, and 2010. I tested it in D7, 2009, and 2010. It should work in D2007 too.

To download ProcessInfo 1.1, please go to ProcessInfo page.

How to use TProcessInfo

The other day I published Process Info component pack which contains TProcessInfo and TAppInfo. A sample task manager was also published as demo.

I thought maybe it is a good idea to talk about these components and some of their usages by providing some sample source codes. So I will start with TProcessInfo.
