c++ - Using System::AnsiString class -


i trying import code following answer: get full running process list ( visual c++ )

bool findrunningprocess(ansistring process) { /* function takes in string value process looking st3monitor.exe loops through of processes running on windows. if process found running, therefore function returns true. */ ansistring compare; bool procrunning = false;  handle hprocesssnap; processentry32 pe32; hprocesssnap = createtoolhelp32snapshot(th32cs_snapprocess, 0);  if (hprocesssnap == invalid_handle_value) {     procrunning = false; } else {     pe32.dwsize = sizeof(processentry32);     if (process32first(hprocesssnap, &pe32)) { // gets first running process         if (pe32.szexefile == process) {             procrunning = true;         } else {             // loop through running processes looking process             while (process32next(hprocesssnap, &pe32)) {                  // set ansistring instead of char[] make compare easier                 compare = pe32.szexefile;                 if (compare == process) {                     // if found process running, set true , break loop                     procrunning = true;                     break;                 }             }         }         // clean snapshot object         closehandle(hprocesssnap);     } } 

in phil's answer, using system::ansistring class , im not sure how can include in project, i.e. apart of installed packages or need download , include it?

an extension of question: there substitute can use achieve same thing ansistring?

my end goal code modify can current list of running processes , looking specific process terminate if running. tried using ce::string, since pe32.szexefile type tchar [260], unable pass ce::string declaration of following ce::string process_name; (which why using system::ansistring).

i assume pe32.szexefile going return process name, wanted compare declared string specific process name.

okay, so, it's not @ clear ansistring is; you've assumed it's the embarcadero system::ansistring class and, frankly, looks reasonable assumption.

i wouldn't go trying obtain it, though. i focus on writing standard code, switching std::string/std::wstring (as appropriate). should near-trivial adapt author's code portable. you'll have play around , read documentation functions used in code, see work , not. looks system::ansistring or std::string-compatible, won't know until try it.

i cannot stress enough how important do not go down road of stepping time machine , opening @ 1950, lunch box full of pointers , horridly antiquated c-string comparison functions. don't why suggest doing that.
