Win32: How to enumerate child processes?

Question

What\'s the best way to enumerate the child processes of the currently running process under Win32? I can think of a couple of ways to do it, but they seem overly complicate

Answer 1

You could use the toolhelp API

#include 

Process32First() 

And loop using

Process32Next()

EDIT delphi

uses tlhelp32;

procedure FillAppList(Applist: Tstrings); 
var   Snap:THandle; 
        ProcessE:TProcessEntry32; 
begin 
     Applist.Clear; 
     Snap:=CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0); 
     ProcessE.dwSize:=SizeOf(ProcessE); 
     if Process32First(Snap,ProcessE) then 
     begin 
          Applist.Add(string(ProcessE.szExeFile)); 
          while Process32Next(Snap,ProcessE) do 
                 .. compare parent id
      end 
      CloseHandle(Snap); 
end;
