- SUMMARY
- =======
-
- The PView tool reads the information (counters) from the registry that
- relate to the threads and processes running on your machine. It also allows
- you to change the priority of the processes. There is about a third of the
- code necessary to do the same thing on a thread-by-thread basis. If you wish
- to learn more, you may want to try to complete the code.
-
- MORE INFORMATION
- ================
-
- Two list boxes present themselves on startup. One list box is the list of
- processes. When a particular process is selected, the other list box will
- contain the threads that are associated with the selected process. Clicking
- on the Memory Details button brings up another dialog box that contains more
- detail on how the memory associated with that process is being used. Another
- list box allows you to see how the memory usage breaks down at the DLL
- level.
-
- NOTE: There is also code in the program to allow you to look at the threads
- on other machines. The implementation and activation of this feature is left
- as an exercise for the user.
-
- The way the program works may not be obvious at first. It is important to
- note that when the programmer named a function PaintAddressSpace, it wasn't
- named this way because it fills the monitored process/thread's memory.
- PaintAddressSpace fetches all of the information associated with the
- specified process/thread.
