Hello,

I would like to launch the window "running program list" from a program
developed with .NET and C#. Does anybody know which command should I use?

I have been looking for it without any luck.

Thanks. Best wishes.

I think that maybe we might need to know what version of the OS you are
running and on what sort of a device. Windows Mobile? Windows CE? For
what purpose are you wanting to do this?

thanks for your reply =)

I'm using a IPAQ 6515 with Windows Mobile 2003. My goal is to do an app
which launchs the running programs list and link that app to a button of the
pda. I this way I can close the programs in a faster way, just pressing a
button + select the program + click in the close program button.

Thanks for your help.

Well, I think that the Control Panel is responsible for displaying that
window and, given that, I don't see any need for you to have a program. If
you can associate a command line with a key, that's all you'd need to do.
Unfortunately, I don't have a reference here for the PPC2003. I found this
using Google, however:

You want to launch the Memory control panel applet, so this should,
generally, do it. I don't know of a way to programmatically force it to
open a particular page of the applet.

Of course, there's no magic going on to get the list of running programs and
you could just as easily do that yourself and display your own list of them,
or even a better list. Use EnumWindows() to get the top-level window names
and that's your list of running programs that matches the Control Panel.
