Hi,
Thanks to LarryMc and sapero,
here's an alternative Task Manager, not perfect but it works.
Thanks,
Andy.
:)
Works much faster than Window$ version! Thanks ;D
Hi,
This is a new version of an alternative task manager (attached).
Firstly and most importantly a big thank you to LarryMc who worked very hard to get the extended details
of the exe files - e.g. Description, Company name etc - thanks Larry.
The main points:
- sorts the processes into alphabetical order
- program checks for processes every 2 seconds.
- gets extended file details
- open location option
- ability to open a new task (applications section)
Why write this program?
Two reasons,
1. Virus programs usually disable the Win task namager, so to keep a compiled version of this could come in very handy!
2. Think it adds to IWB - the more functions we have the more people will want IWB.
All the best,
Andy.
:)
Andy,
I can't compile your program without the KMS.inc include file. Could you post it, please?
Oh, and do we need the lib file, as well?
Brian
just comment out the kms line and it will compile
Sorry Brian,
Yes comment out the line or remove it.
I use that include file (renamed copy of Registry.inc) to work with the registry, and it's not needed now in the program, it was left over from when I was trying to read the registry to get file details.
The program is not perfect yet but slowly inching my way there.
Regards,
Andy.

Thanks, Andy - got it now
I noticed when I added the line autodefine "off" that were were a bunch of error lines
coming up. Some were not really worth adjusting, but some needed attention
There were just two lines I couldn't rectify, which you will see if you run my offering
Lots of things in there I haven't seen before - good stuff!
Brian
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the compliment!
What two lines could you not rectify? - your mod compiles and runs ok to me at first glance.
Thanks,
Andy.
Andy,
Compiles and runs OK, but I am left with these errors:

You can forget the unreferenced SUB lines - it was the first two errors I didn't understand. I know
they are only warnings, but they are warnings that something just isn't working right
Brian
Hi Brian,
The first "error" on line 419:
That bit of code I think Sapero wrote a good while back, obviously he felt okay with it but I do agree there
is something about it the compiler doesn't like - basically I don't know.
The second error:
I noticed two things,
1. I don't get this error when I compile it, but you do... strange.
2. I made a little mistake, I did @IDCREATE twice
Maybe by removing the second case @IDCREATE it will stop complaining? as stated I cannot test this as I do not get this error.
SUB detailshnd
SELECT @MESSAGE
case @IDCREATE
CENTERWINDOW dy3
case @IDCREATE ------- remove this line
CENTERWINDOW dy3 -------- remove this line
I am using win7 32bit on my machine.
Please let me know how you get on,
Thanks,
Andy.
Yep, removing the second IDCREATE got rid of the error - never saw that
If Sapero wrote it, and he was happy with it, who are we to change it!
No errors now, other than Sapero's. I am on Win 7 Pro, 64-bit
Brian
That's great Brian,
I must have pasted the @IDCREATE twice, still glad it's all sorted now!
All the best,
Andy.
