Get PID Process Handler

Question

I want to get a process descriptor by process name.

I have a PID, but when I use openProcessto get the descriptor always, it will return 0 or 180, the function that I use to work PID correctly

Handle := OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION or PROCESS_VM_READ,False,PID);

What should I do?

Answer 1

There is no direct way to get a handle to a process when all you know is its name if you are not using it CreateProcess.
