If you have a process identifier, you can get the process handle by calling the OpenProcess function. OpenProcess enables you to specify the handle's access rights and whether it can be inherited. A process can use the GetCurrentProcess function to retrieve a pseudo handle to its own process object. This pseudo handle is valid only for the calling process; it cannot be inherited or duplicated for use by other processes. To get the real handle to the process, call the DuplicateHandle function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
