PID (Process ID), of a running program.

[Albireo]

Hi!
I want to get the process ID of a running program (as possible to find in the task manager).
I have tested

Code: Select all

Process Exist, Label32.exe
PID := ErrorLevel
MsgBox 64, Row %A_LineNumber% -> %A_ScriptName%, PID = %PID%

But I only got "0" as result

I tried that exactly script with notepad and it returned the PID just fine. You're 100% sure Label32.exe is running at the time?

You have right!
The prossess doesn't exist
When the program is running, I can see in the task manager (win7) .: Label32.exe *32
If I use the code below (the code right now)

Code: Select all

SetTitleMatchMode 2
Run c:\windows\system32\schtasks.exe /run /tn Skyltprogram,, MAX, LabelPID  ; Run Label32.exe from the scheduled task right now

Sleep 3000

Process Exist, Label32.exe   ; In the task manager stands "Label32.exe *32" (win7 without "")
PID := ErrorLevel
MsgBox 64, Row %A_LineNumber% -> %A_ScriptName%, PID = %PID% `nLabelPID = %LabelPID%

I have change the command

Code: Select all

Sleep 3000

to

Code: Select all

WinWait ahk_pid Label32.exe

But it doesn't work, the program "hung" on the "WinWait" command.

Now I found a solution.

Run the following command.

Code: Select all

RunWait c:\windows\system32\schtasks.exe /run /tn Skyltprogram,, MAX

It works!
