Hi Mike,

The function I would like to call is "EnumProcesses" in "psapi.dll" bool EnumProcesses( *int[] procs, int procsLength, *int realProcsLength)
                     ^^^^
This array of integers is evil :o) - dunno how to declare that...

I know its ugly but doesn't it possible to 'fake' the int array by using a string of the correct size ?

The res_* open allow the access to resource embeded in exe or dll files. Ok, figured aut that - but how to decode the info grabbed?

res_get or res stream return the raw data. In fact bitmaps and icons are encoded just like files (.bmp, .ico) are, for version info and strings I don't know. Functions to open this type of resource exists but i don't know if it is really usefull.

If think it could be a good idea to add more Windows control functions like that in win32std. I'm open to suggestions about that. Well, I would appreciate a more generic way to call any win function, but it seems that that will be handled by ffi?

You're right ! Eric
