Hi<br>
<br>
I've now tried to work out how to hide the application from the ctrl-alt-del list in the "Close Program" dialog box.<br>
<br>
I tried specifiing the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW in XCreateWindowEx, but it didn't hide it from the task-list on the ctrl-alt-del bialog. (that would only work with win95)<br>
<br>
I tried some stuff with RegisterServiceProcess() but i couldn't get that to compile (undeclared identifier)<br>
<br>
I hope that there is an easy way of getting the appllication totally hidden from any lists in win98. I know it sounds all like im making a trojan, but i just want to protect my computer from my sister.<br>
<br>
Thank you. KLM

You should use RegisterServiceProcess,<br>
in Delphi it looks like this:<br>
<br>
function RegisterServiceProcess (dwProcessID, dwType: DWord) : DWord;<br>
stdcall; external 'KERNEL32.DLL';<br>
<br>
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);<br>
begin<br>
// Hide the program from taskmanager:<br>
RegisterServiceProcess(GetCurrentProcessID,1);<br>
end;<br>
<br>
procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);<br>
begin<br>
// Show the program to taskmanager:<br>
RegisterServiceProcess(GetCurrentProcessID,0);<br>
end;<br>
<br>
<br>
Should be translated to any other language easily enough ;)<br>

Thank you for leading me on the right track,<br>
but i can't find that function in VC++.<br>
<br>
Is there an #include file for it?<br>
Is it in kernel32.dll?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>

Ok, here's a function you can use in VC++ 6. Just call 'reg(TRUE);' at the top of WinMain (like, as the first line). Call 'reg(FALSE);' when you handle your WM_DESTROY message. The 3 lines below are to be placed right under any headers you have included. (If this source turns into a mess, I've added a URL where you can download a zipped reg.cpp file).<br>
<br>
bool registered;<br>
typedef DWORD (WINAPI *TRegisterServiceProcess)(DWORD,DWORD);<br>
<br>
void __fastcall reg(bool which)<br>
{<br>
HMODULE hmod;<br>
TRegisterServiceProcess pReg;<br>
hmod = LoadLibrary("kernel32.dll");<br>
<br>
if (!hmod)<br>
return;<br>
<br>
pReg = (TRegisterServiceProcess)::GetProcAddress(hmod,"RegisterServiceProcess");<br>
<br>
if (!pReg) {<br>
FreeLibrary(hmod);<br>
return;<br>
}<br>
else {<br>
if (which)<br>
pReg(0,1); //unregister our process<br>
else<br>
pReg(0,0);<br>
}<br>
registered = true;<br>
FreeLibrary(hmod);<br>
}<br>

To call RegisterServiceProcess, retrieve a function pointer using GetProcAddress on KERNEL32.DLL. Use the function pointer to call RegisterServiceProcess. <br>
