OK Here is the Release both Source & App

Source:
 System_Manager.zip ( 625.92k ) Number of downloads: 13


Application:
 System_Manager.zip ( 34.94k ) Number of downloads: 21

ok i would like to adapt this to my os Called fusionet24 bs. Can i and do you want to be in the development team.

Are you asking to use this in your Operating System?

Yeah, he is. You never actually mentioned that it's in C#.NET and therefore he most likely thinks it would run on a non-Windows OS.

EDIT:
Just downloaded it. This things actually pretty neat~ good job

You set up an SF for it?

One thing, I'd quite like to see it with an auto-update, instead of having to refresh it manually.
Why not put it in a thread?

I suck at threads.
Can you give me an example of using a thread instead of a timer.

No I have not set up a sourceforge project

Since you want to update a component in your UI, you'll have to use a delegate and invoke the method.

I always have to look at my code to get this right, but I'm gonna give it a go off the top of my head.

Something along the lines of:

public MainForm() {
    Thread thr = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Thread_Method));
}

void Thread_Method() {
    this.listBox1.Invoke(new updateListBoxCallBack(updateListBox));
}

public delegate void updateListBoxCallback();
public updateListBox() {
    // update it in here
}

EDIT: You might also find baavgai's JobQueue class useful~ I use it more than threads. Check the C# snippets.

OK Thanks but how does it know to update the listview?

This is similar to what I do in both my main applications:

// since you're checking if it already exists, let's store the contents of the listbox in an array.
String [] current; // contains the current contents of your listbox
String [] temp; // stores the NOW contents of what's going on
// (use to determine whether it's different to the current contents)
// it's up to you to populate it, just loop through your listbox. (I'll show you where)

public MainForm() {
    Thread thr = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Thread_Method));
    // populate current with the contents of your listbox, after it's been filled for the first time
}

void Thread_Method() {
    // run a check to get all the NOW events
    // pseudocode:
    if (current != temp) // if it's changed, then we should update it
        this.listBox1.Invoke(new updateListBoxCallBack(updateListBox));
}

public delegate void updateListBoxCallback();
public updateListBox() {
    // update it in here
}

EDIT:
Oh yah, BTW, in cays ur wundrin:
X-Twitter uses a thread to check if there's been an update, if there has, it adds it to the friend updates panel
The Snippet Manager uses the same principal to check for updates for the Clipboard Log.

OK I get it but in the updateListBox() it says it needs to return type. What do I use to return besides the return statement.

oh bummer is there a chance me and you could make a copy for my os

@rudeboyco:
What Language would you like it in?

DAMMIT my connection went while I tried posting and I lost it.

I only missed the void keyword. My bad.

And if that works, I'll be happy. I wrote it in the fast reply box right here.

OK Thanks

Did that help?

(Or haven't you used it?)

I don't know I'm still modifying it. Here is what I have so far

ListView.ListViewItemCollection current;
        String temp;

        public void Thread_Method()
        {
            ListView[] lists = { processListView, windowListView, servicesListView, usersListView, drivesListView, driversListView };
            System.Diagnostics.Process[] processes = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses();
            for (int i = 0; i < lists.Length; i++)
            {
                if (current[i].Text != temp)
                {
                    foreach (ListView list in lists)
                    {
                        list.Invoke(new updateListViewCallback(updateListView));
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        public delegate void updateListViewCallback();
        
        public void updateListView()
        {
            GetProcesses();
            GetWindows();
            GetServices();
            GetUsers();
            GetDrives();
            GetDrivers();
        }

I am trying to make it so it will update all of the listViews

EDIT: Doesn't matter. Ignore me.

I was thinking that it could be the item text.

What do you think would be the best way?

Just go for what seems right to you.

This is where I struggle with helping people, because a lot of my code is non-standard~ I tend to find my own way to do things, instead of going by the "regular" stuff.

At the end of the day, it's your code. Go for what seems right to you, then start looking into performance stuff afterwards. It's the best way to learn.

Since I no nothing about Threads I used a Timer.

I have it so you can choose either 1, 5, or 10 Minutes to Update.
