getting commandline of parent process

1 New Member
Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2005
The problem is:
The parent.exe launches a child.exe executible. In the child.exe process I want to know the commandline with which parent.exe was originally launched.

I am trying to do it as follows in child.exe:

GetCurrentProce ssId()
CreateToolhelp3 2Snapshot()
get the parent process ID of child.exe process
I get PROCESSENTRY32 for parent process ID.

However PROCESSENTRY32. szExeFile gives only name of the binary and not the full commandline.

Is there a way to fetch the commandline using which parent.exe was launched?

I'm writing an application that should work both as a GUI and a commandline program. When running from commandline I want to give all output to the commandline instead of showing it it an own interface. When I use Console.writeline the output doesn't appear at the commandline prompt though. I guess this is because the default output for the Console.Writeline is set to the (invisible) gui at that time. Is there a way to avoid/change...

I am looping through the array of processes returned by Process.GetProcesses(). How do I get the command line parameters that each of the processes was started with? Kind of like in the SysInternals' Process Explorer? I've tried Process.StartInfo.Arguments property but it is always empty. Thanks.

This has been driving me insane for the last hour or so. I have search everywhere, and nothing works. I am trying to use the subprocess module to run a program and get its output line by line.

It doesn't even have to use the subprocess module. Don't worry if the code...

I need to obtain the username of the currently logged in user on a machine. However, the program that needs to do this will be running under different credentials to the logged in user, so using Environment.UserName will give the user name of the user that is running the program. Any help would be appreciated, this is giving me a headache.

Hi All! After hours of searching the net, I found nothing really substantial about this. For me, passing username and password from the commandline, is not very unsecure, but there is no way described, how this can work. Without preparation, a GUI appears, even user/pwd are specified on the commandline. Naturally, I do not want to specify username and password in the source . I experimented with the installer classes and discovered...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
