Performance Parameters

[SwapSawe]

Hi!!

Actually I am working on a code where I am required to know what percentage of CPU is being used and how much memory is used at current point of time, as I m executing the program. If I am not clear lets talk something through example, when we go in the task manager in Win NT the details we find in the performance parameter is what i want.

Hope I make it Clear,
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,

Use GlobalMemoryStatus function which is great for memory... status... ...
It fills a MemoryStatus structure with all informations that you would need.
You find the details in MSDN.

A rudimentary way to find the CPU usage will be to invoke the "PMon.exe" utility and gather its output, but that only works for one time needed information, not for a continuously displaying application.

There are some "Performance Monitoring" functions available in NT but i'm not sure if that's what you want to do.

Hope this helps. [red]Nosferatu[/red]

Thanx again,

The Pmon unfortunately is not installed by default under windows NT...
However, if you find a function that querries the processor usage, i would be very happy to hear about it... I'm sure there is one, simple enough (that is, doesn't require 126.5321 steps to get to the function) since PMon is using it.
Thanks! [red]Nosferatu[/red]
