gud day to all of you uhm i have a question is it possible to merge two the same process names i tried to manipulate them using systems diagnostics but it's no use i can only get the names not entirely merging them

what do you mean by merning two process names "entirely"?

Did you mean by having like this

MyProcess P1 = new MyProcess();
MyProcess P2 = new MyProcess()

P1.CollectFiles()
P2.PrintFiles(P1)

so instead of having that you wanted to run it as one? like

MyProcess.CollectFiles().PrintFiles()

Traditional Win32 Processes, is a set of resources, with at least 1 thread use by a running application. Failure one process does not affect the functioning of another process not unless they are connected (which you are trying to join?)

For example:

ive got a process name paint.exe in my task manager, then i run again a paint.exe process eventually in the task manager it will have two paint.exes right? how can i merge their process names? any suggestion thanks for the advice, in the last post i aprreciate it

What's the reason why you want to merge? you want to merge but still allows to run more than one application? or you only want to run 1 paint program at a time? thus, disallowing any paint program to spawn if there is a pain program currently running.

Windows process all have different PID, Allocated Memory, CPU Time (preempted), etc... but possible to have more than one Image Name or Application name, since a program can start another program, or spawn another process.

take a look at Process Explorer from sysinternals, they can group same image name, eg. if you want to open 10 Paint application, you will only see a group box name "paint" yet, you can still pull it down to view its different pID's and more...

Gud day!i tried sysinternals yet it cannot group the same process names.what will i do now?i mean do you have other suggestions?thank you.

gumawa ka nlng bro, tapos put ur process into dictionary, map the duplicate items.

I think you can't do that.

Have you tried reading processes on an OS?

As far as I know, every process has unique process ID(PID). Even you have execute two paint.exe, they had different PID's.

but can i represent them into one like for example if there are two instances or more can I group them? or somewhat like a representation of the two the same process names? is it doable?

as far as presentation concerns, YES. Handle them via process name attribute.

I think this is possible, observe what happen with Google chrome...

they implement a Parent and Child concept...
everything on the process is a child but there is 1 parent having an access to all attributes to all childs, attached or detached...

for your application, at first execution, a parent and a child instance already created, at second execution a new child will just associate...
