(Visual C++) Get PID From Thread

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22430816

Question

I'm trying to track a certain applications behaviour, I've grabbed the visible thread that draws the Window, having that thread is there any way to determine the process it belongs to?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can use GetProcessIdOfThread api for newer versions of windows.

For older versions you have to find it manually using the ToolHelp library functions Thread32First/Thread32Next searching for the threadid and getting the process id from the THREADENTRY32 structure.
