I want change in my function the current process priority, but after that, restore the original process it has before calling the function.
  1. starting a program
  2. retrieve and backup current programs priority
  3. change of priority
  4. at end of function, restore programs original priority

There isn't a way (that I know of) to do that with pure AutoHotkey code, but there might be an obscure DllCall or SendMessage that would accomplish it. Why do you need to restore the original priority?

In my function I need to raise temporary the priority at specific position only, if needed. The function lies in a library which I include it on other scripts and don't want to change the priority of that script. It should be independent from the script which call the function.

Why don't support AutoHotkey this? May be this thread could be moved to the Wish List area?

It's already planned, but I don't know when it will be implemented.

@ tuncay

As jonny said a dll would be the obvious route as in (GetPriorityClass)
also an additionl CMD in Process command as in (GetPriority).
However if you're happy with using the cli processor then the following code will provide a solution

Code:

; 1. starting a program
run my prog.exe
; ====================================================
; 2. retrieve and backup current programs priority
RunWait, %comspec% /c pv "my prog.exe" -e -q > process.dat, ,hide
fileread,s,process.dat
Loop, Parse, s, %A_Tab%
{
fld%a_index% := a_loopfield
}
; process := fld1 lauchPath := fld4
proc_id  := fld2
priority := fld3
; =====================================================
; 3. change of priority
Process, priority, %proc_id%, H
; =====================================================
; 4. at end of function, restore programs original priority
RunWait, %comspec% /c pv "my prog.exe" -p%priority%, ,hide
; =====================================================


The neat little proggy can be downloaded @
http://www.teamcti.com/pview/prcview.htm
and download the COMMAND LINE version

Have FUN :lol:

I had posted a function for that: GetPriority()
