[SRC|REL] C++ code to check if SA's running

[[email protected]]

Hey all, I've made a few little C++ functions to check if SA's process is running, this does not only do a check on its window, but it also does a check if the program "gta_sa.exe" is running, by using Wbem/WMI. I don't know for which versions of Windows it works, it works for Window XP, I think it will work Windows 2000 as well, and maybe it works for Windows 98/Me, but I can't check that.

 

By the way, with a few modification, this can be made to work for VC and III!

 

findsa.cpp

findsa.h

 

How to use it:

 

First, call InitializeWbem to initialize all the COM-objects (this takes quite long, 1 or 2 seconds). After that, you can call getGTASAPID and findGTASAProcess as often as you want. After you're finished, call UninitializeWbem to release the COM-objects.

 

Here's a simple program demonstrating its usage:

 

#include "findsa.h"#include <stdio.h>int main(){if(InitializeWbem()){ printf("Wbem succesfully initialized\n");}else{ printf("Wbem could not be initialized\n");}for (;{ HANDLE hProc = findGTASAProcess(); printf("Result of findGTASAProcess call: %u\n", hProc); CloseHandle(hProc); if(getchar() == 'x') break;}UninitializeWbem();return 0;}

 

(Press x and then Enter to quit)

 

You may use it freely in all of your programs, and if you'd credit me, that'd be great!
