Well, I didn't see this DLL anywhere, so I've decided to make it and post it in the DLL forum.

Basically what it does is looks for a specified process either by its filename or window name and tells you if it's running or not.
A simple but somewhat useful DLL in certain cases. Here are some examples of what you could use it for..

Uses:

• Checks to see if a process with the same name is running as the current process (for online games you might not want players to run two applications at a time)
• Scans to see if any cheating programs are active such as memory scanners or packet editors
• Possibly more uses but I can't think of any at the moment

All you have to do is run 'findProcess_init' once, then you can use 'findProcess(..)'.
The first parameter is either the filename or window name of the process, and the second parameter is if
you want to find the process by its filename (set to 0) or window name (set to 1).
It will then return true if the process was found, and false if it wasn't found.

Hope you find this useful.

I havn't downloaded it yet, but I think it would be better if the DLL could return the handle of the window, then it would have some more uses.
Although then a user could mess up a program so...

Alright, it now returns the window handle of a window, if you set the second parameter to 1.
Please feel free to post if you find any bugs or have some suggestions.

Did you put the DLL in the same folder as the game?
And also show the code you used.

Hey, i was looking for a script like this, but unfortunately it doesnt do quite what i was looking for, so i wondered if i could make a suggestion? i was kinda looking for something that could return the window handle from file name, rather than window name, as atm it can only return window handle from window name. But otherwise, great dll. really usefull

If you realy want to connect to a Process, inject a DLL as legal Part of the Process. Cita can do this.

Does not work for this:

Checks to see if a process with the same name is running as the current process (for online games you might not want players to run two applications at a time)

As it only return true if the process exist or not, if you use it on one app the app kills itself without having a duplicate.
It could return how many processes exists with the given name.
