Some probs with RemoteExecute

[meflin]

Hi again,
now i'd like to use remoteexecute. i've a thread function, a correct window handle but nevertheless it dosn't work. what could be the reasons for it?

[madshi]

What window handle are you talking about? RemoteExecute has nothing to do with window handles. You need a *process* handle to get RemoteExecute working.

good to know after reading the manual i thought it would need a window handle *g* i'll trie it!

[madshi]

How did the manual give you the idea that you need a window handle?

I mean the documentation about RemoteExecute doesn't even mention the word "window". And the first parameter is named "processHandle".

you are right it was my fault.

[meflin]

ive tried several times now but finally im not able to get a processhandle. hows this possible???

[madshi]

About which process are you talking? How does your code look like?

[meflin]

Code: Select all

windowhandle := findwindow(nil,'Title');
GetWindowThreadProcesId(windowhandle,@pid);


but of course this isn't a processhandle but a processid... so ive tried with openprocess but failed anyway!

[madshi]

OpenProcess fails? How does your OpenProcess code look like? What does GetLastError say? About which process are we talking? Is it a normal application or a service or a system process?

[meflin]

ive managed it now with a normal application. but is this also possible with system proceses?

Yes, as long as you have enough privileges.
