16-bit applications and System.Diagnostics

[ChrisBowringGG]

Hi,

I am trying to get information about 16-bit applications using
Process.GetProcesses and variants, but none of the 16-bit
applications show up with these methods.

I tried to get at them by looking at the properties of the
ntvdm process (see
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/india/Pages/WinXP_tips_Insideout_101801_786.htm),
but to no avail.

What I am trying to achieve is to find out how many of these
applications are running before launching new instances.
Process.GetProcessesByName doesn't work on 16-bit processes.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Chris.

No, they don't work for 16 applications they work only for 'proceses' which
are 32 or 64 bit, 16 'applications' aren't processes, they run inside the
one and only 'ntvdm' process.

Thanks Willy. Do you know how else I could achieve this?
