[Noob.exe]

(this post will be updated with new versions)

Check out my post below for latest download!

So, to show you I'm not gone yet, I'm posting this kinda sneak peek at my newest version of Task Manager.
My priority is to make it fast with lots of functions included.

Changelog of my previous attempts:
- 1.0 (like 1 year ago?) simple listbox, no functions ^^
- 2.0 (like 8 months ago) listbox, glitchy refreshing and very basic features, gave up after as i just didn't know how to improve it
- 3.0 (july) quite advanced one, all+ features of windows one, but SLOW
- 4.0 (in construction) I'm taking it very slowly, trying to optimize every line

This Tuesday it was my 3rd time at programming classes and despite that we're learning python, i think I understand VB better to, so i decided to finish the 4th version

Curent stage: pre-Alpha stage, just showing it here for some suggestions/corrections


Current Features:
- quite smooth refreshing processes using ID (i think )
- that's about it ^^

Listbox WILL BE REPLACED with detailed listview...

To-Do:
- all features...
- design
- your suggestions?

Notes:
- ignore textbox with info as it's there more tfor testing purposes (labels and 2nd listbox too, lado it would probably be more practical to use debug.print...

I want you to:
- look at the source and let me know if you spot any major fails, comment on app speed, criticize my coding, so I'll be able to improve it

99% of my code i wrote in there was previously learned online, but it almost** nothing is directly copy-pasted - extends my work and shortens my learning
Some of the code for features (specially the one when u stop/resume threads) will be taken from this forum - all props to the original authors.

Why not just use a listview, and then u double click for more information?

As i mentioned it's not even half way done, this "sample" just demonstrates refreshing code and kinda announces upcoming releases.

EDIT: i spend A LOT of time finalizing my apps and i would never dare to upload something like this as finished app ;)

[Noob.exe]

New version includes:
- listview with almost no details ^^
- a bit nicer look and refined code

I'm kinda in a hurry so i wont be posting full images&stuff for this one.
Just try it out for yourselves, look at the source and criticise it.

Download: (free - source + compiled program)

Also, i'm quite busy these days but i'll have more time next week (holydays, hooray wahooo; ) - expect more releases then.

When I run this it says Illegal characters in path.
When a process exits it says Object variable With block variable not set, then the program cannot continue.

Weird... (however i didn't spend much time etsting it, it worked on my comp)
Could you try to achieve the same results in VS and tell me the exact line where error happens? (i probably know the reason for 2nd "exit" error but first one seems kinda weird)

[mandai]

During debugging line 76 causes the ArgumentException, when only a Win32Exception would be caught.

[Noob.exe]

Here we go, another release, probably the last one before the final one.

Added:
- pausing/resuming
- run/cmd/kill
- "advanced" button with transition
- searching

To-do:
- resizing
- menu bar
- perhaps some computer info/monitors
- your suggestions?

I was wondering if i should add the "UserName" attribute to listview items, because it takes soo long to get the username from 120 processes -.-
If anyone knows a fast way to get a a process UserName please let me know.

All known bugs are hopefully fixed, .exe works perfectly on my computer.
Please let me know if you find any errors and comment the source.

I'm still getting the same errors. This time the code has moved to line 132.

I made a small change that i think could solve this, but i have no idea why it's working fine on my computer and not on yours. (hope it works now)

If you are STILL getting an error i would ask you to try and find a solution, as i've run out of options...
