I can't get my head around pointers using a custom record and making array of records then a pointer to that record, specifically what I want to achieve is to make a record for each top level window handle with the given classname, meaning there is more than 1, for each window I use EnumChildWindow to obtain handles to child windows with in. I wanted to make record of each of these and pass it to a combobox with title and make the record an object of that item so I can access each recorded later on via selecting it.
My problem is my handling of pointers, I keep getting access denied on the first instance of adding any to one of the array records.

Please if anyone can point (no pun intended) me in the right direction I would be grateful.
There are many things wrong with your code. Here's a non-exhaustive list:
You don't allocate any storage for your arrays.2
You pass ^PATMyEnumParam to EnumWindows which you then cast to PATMyEnumParam in the callback.
Your arrays are fixed length and you make no attempt to handle out of bounds access to the arrays.
But your biggest problem is that your code is attempting to run before you can walk. It has full complexity and all the functionality that you need. Yet you cannot yet manage to make a single successful call to EnumWindows.
My biggest piece of advice here is not in the detail, but the generality of problem solving. Start by writing a simple piece of code. Understand it. Then enhance it.
So, in that vein, here is how to make a call to EnumerateWindows:
program EnumWindowsDemo_17620346;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
System.SysUtils, Winapi.Windows, Generics.Collections;
type
TWindowInfo = record
Handle: HWND;
// expand with more fields in due course
end;
function EnumWindowProc(hwnd: HWND; lParam: LPARAM): BOOL; stdcall;
var
WindowList: TList<TWindowInfo>;
WindowInfo: TWindowInfo;
begin
WindowList := TList<TWindowInfo>(lParam);
WindowInfo.Handle := hwnd;
WindowList.Add(WindowInfo);
Result := True;
end;
procedure Main;
var
WindowList: TList<TWindowInfo>;
WindowInfo: TWindowInfo;
begin
WindowList := TList<TWindowInfo>.Create;
try
EnumWindows(#EnumWindowProc, LPARAM(WindowList));
for WindowInfo in WindowList do
Writeln(WindowInfo.Handle);
finally
WindowList.Free;
end;
end;
begin
Main;
Readln;
end.
Starting from here you can expand this concept, because all the tricky parts are already taken care of. Specifically the pointer, casting and memory management.

I want know if is possible hook a callback function for example like EnumWindowsProc() using inline hook approach? and if yes, could provide a code snippet (example) please?
Thank you.
EDITION:
EnumWindowsProc is a callback implemented in other app. I not call it inside my app.
And i want hook EnumWindowsProc in this other app, by dll injection.
You have to handle EnumWindows at first, then you have to replace pointer to original EnumWindowsProc to yourself.
My example is valid fow win32
unit Patch;
interface
procedure PatchEnumWindows(Patch: Boolean);
implementation
uses SysUtils, SyncObjs, Windows;
const
INSTR_SIZE = 6;
var
OldEnumWindows: array [0..INSTR_SIZE-1] of Byte;
EnumWindowsPatched: Boolean = False;
function PatchedEnumWindows(EnumWindowsProc: Pointer; Param: Pointer); stdcall;
begin
// You have to replace original EnumWindowsProc to yourself
end;
procedure ApiRedirect(OrigFunction, NewFunction: Pointer; var Old);
const
TEMP_JMP: array[0..INSTR_SIZE-1] of Byte = ($E9,$90,$90,$90,$90,$C3);
var
JmpSize: DWORD;
JMP: array [0..INSTR_SIZE-1] of Byte;
OldProtect: DWORD;
begin
Move(TEMP_JMP, JMP, INSTR_SIZE);
JmpSize := DWORD(NewFunction) - DWORD(OrigFunction) - 5;
if not VirtualProtect(LPVOID(OrigFunction), INSTR_SIZE, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, OldProtect) then
raise Exception.CreateFmt('%s', [SysErrorMessage(GetLastError)]);
Move(OrigFunction^, Old, INSTR_SIZE);
Move(JmpSize, JMP[1], 4);
Move(JMP, OrigFunction^, INSTR_SIZE);
VirtualProtect(LPVOID(OrigFunction), INSTR_SIZE, OldProtect, nil);
end;
procedure PatchEnumWindows(Patch: Boolean);
var
OrigEnumWindows: Pointer;
begin
if Patch <> EnumWindowsProcPatched then begin
OrigEnumWindows := GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle('user32.dll'), 'EnumWindows');
if Patch then begin
ApiRedirect(OrigEnumWindows, #PatchedEnumWindows, OldEnumWindows);
end
else begin
Move(OldEnumWindows, OrigEnumWindows, INSTR_SIZE);
end;
EnumWindowsPatched := Patch;
end;
end;
end.
Consider:
function OuterFunc: integer;
function InnerFunc: integer;
begin
// Here I'd like to access the OuterFunc.Result variable
// for both reading and writing its value
OuterFunc.Result := OuterFunc.Result + 12;
end;
begin
end;
Is there a native syntax to access the OuterFunc Result variable inside InnerFunc? Or is the only way to do this to pass it like a parameter, as in the following?
function OuterFunc: integer;
function InnerFunc(var outerResult: integer): integer;
begin
end;
var
i: integer;
begin
i := InnerFunc(Result);
end;
You can assign result to functions by assigning to the function name, which actually was the original way in Pascal:
function MyFunc: integer;
begin
MyFunc := 2;
// is equal to the following
Result := 2;
end;
So in your case you can write
function OuterFunc: integer;
function InnerFunc: integer;
begin
OuterFunc := 12;
end;
begin
end;
Beware however, that using the function name in a statement block anyware else than on the left side of the assignment operator results in a recursive call, and is therefore different from how the predefined Result works.
In other words, you can not access a previously set value of OuterFunc from within InnerFunc. You would need to use e.g. a local variable in the outer scope defined before InnerFunc to be accessible also from InnerFunc:
function OuterFunc: integer;
var
OuterResult: integer;
function InnerFunc: integer;
begin
OuterResult := 0;
OuterResult := OuterResult + 12;
end;
begin
Result := OuterResult;
end;
For more details refer to Function Declarations in the documentation.
Another option, except for using the native Pascal syntax (as displayed by Tom Brunberg's answer), is converting the local function into a procedure.
function OuterFunc: integer;
procedure InnerFunc(out innerResult: integer);
begin
{OuterFunc's} Result := 0;
innerReuslt := -1;
end;
var
i: integer;
begin
InnerFunc( i );
end;
Since this is your INNER local function you would not break some external API/contract by this simple change.
Twice so since your original code has InnerFunc being the de facto procedure, making no use of its own Result neither by caller, nor by callee.
function OuterFunc: integer;
// function InnerFunc: integer;
procedure InnerFunc;
begin
// here i'd like to access OuterFunc.Result variable
// for both reading and writing its value
// OuterFunc.Result := OuterFunc.Result + 12;
Result := Result + 12;
end;
begin
InnerFunc();
end;
But okay, let's assume you just forgot using BOTH results of BOTH functions, but you did originally intend to.
Still there are few ways at your disposal to cut corners and to hack over the Delphi language intentions-limitations.
Starting with that procedure approach, you may add a function shorthand, if you want to use such a function in expressions.
Though it looks a bit ugly and adds a redirection call for the CPU (you can not inline local functions and if you could Delphi inline implementation is bogged with "register dances"), so slows things down somewhat (but depending on how much you call it w.r.t. other work - that extra work might be non-noticeable).
function OuterFunc: integer;
procedure InnerFunc(out innerResult: integer); overload;
begin
innerResult := +2;
// {OuterFunc's} Result := Result + innerResult;
Inc( Result, innerResult );
end;
function InnerFunc: integer; overload;
begin
InnerFunc( Result );
end;
var
i: integer;
begin
// InnerFunc( i );
i := InnerFunc();
end;
And yet another hack is declaring the variables overlapping.
function OuterFunc: integer;
var Outer_Result: integer absolute Result;
i: integer;
function InnerFunc: integer;
begin
Result := +2;
Inc( Outer_Result, Result );
end;
begin
i := InnerFunc();
end;
Now, this approach might kill the optimizations, like placing the "result" in the CPU registers, forcing using the RAM for it, which is slower.
Additionally, once you might wish to change the type of the OuterFunc and if you forget to change the type of the Outer_Result var accordingly - you screwed yourself.
function OuterFunc: double; // was - integer; Proved to be not enough since 2020
var Outer_Result: integer absolute Result; // and here we forgot to sync type changing.... ooooops!
i: integer;
function InnerFunc: integer;
....
So less hackish way to express that intention (at the price of allocating and accessing yet one more in-RAM variable) would be this:
function OuterFunc: integer;
{$T+} // we need to enable type checking: predictability is safety
var Outer_Result: ^integer;
i: integer;
function InnerFunc: integer;
begin
Result := +2;
Inc( Outer_Result^, Result );
end;
begin
Outer_Result := #Result;
i := InnerFunc();
end;
But all these options are hack-arounds, breaking conceptual clarity, thus hampering ability for people to read/understand the program in the future.
If you need the variable - then do declare the variable. That would be the most clear option here. Afterall programs are more written for the future programmers to read them than for the computers to compile them. :-)
function OuterFunc: integer;
var the_Outer_Result: integer;
function InnerFunc;
begin
Result := +2;
Inc( the_Outer_Result, Result );
end;
var
i: integer;
begin
the_Outer_Result := 0;
.....
I := InnerFunc();
.....
Result := the_Outer_Result;
end;
That way you would not fight with the language, but give up and use it as it was intended to use. Fighting and outsmarting the language is always fun, but in the long term, when you have to maintain the code any human being last read 5 years ago and port it to newer versions of Delphi/libraries/Windows - then such the non-natural smart tricks tend to become quite annoying.
I want to create a TObjectList<T> descendant to handle common functionality between object lists in my app. Then I want to further descend from that new class to introduce additional functionality when needed. I cannot seem to get it working using more than 1 level of inheritance. I probably need to understand generics a little bit more, but I've search high and low for the correct way to do this without success. Here is my code so far:
unit edGenerics;
interface
uses
Generics.Collections;
type
TObjectBase = class
public
procedure SomeBaseFunction;
end;
TObjectBaseList<T: TObjectBase> = class(TObjectList<T>)
public
procedure SomeOtherBaseFunction;
end;
TIndexedObject = class(TObjectBase)
protected
FIndex: Integer;
public
property Index: Integer read FIndex write FIndex;
end;
TIndexedObjectList<T: TIndexedObject> = class(TObjectBaseList<T>)
private
function GetNextAutoIndex: Integer;
public
function Add(AObject: T): Integer;
function ItemByIndex(AIndex: Integer): T;
procedure Insert(AIndex: Integer; AObject: T);
end;
TCatalogueItem = class(TIndexedObject)
private
FID: integer;
public
property ID: integer read FId write FId;
end;
TCatalogueItemList = class(TIndexedObjectList<TCatalogueItem>)
public
function GetRowById(AId: Integer): Integer;
end;
implementation
uses
Math;
{ TObjectBase }
procedure TObjectBase.SomeBaseFunction;
begin
end;
{ TObjectBaseList<T> }
procedure TObjectBaseList<T>.SomeOtherBaseFunction;
begin
end;
{ TIndexedObjectList }
function TIndexedObjectList<T>.Add(AObject: T): Integer;
begin
AObject.Index := GetNextAutoIndex;
Result := inherited Add(AObject);
end;
procedure TIndexedObjectList<T>.Insert(AIndex: Integer; AObject: T);
begin
AObject.Index := GetNextAutoIndex;
inherited Insert(AIndex, AObject);
end;
function TIndexedObjectList<T>.ItemByIndex(AIndex: Integer): T;
var
I: Integer;
begin
Result := Default(T);
while (Count > 0) and (I < Count) and (Result = Default(T)) do
if Items[I].Index = AIndex then
Result := Items[I]
else
Inc(I);
end;
function TIndexedObjectList<T>.GetNextAutoIndex: Integer;
var
I: Integer;
begin
Result := 0;
for I := 0 to Count - 1 do
Result := Max(Result, Items[I].Index);
Inc(Result);
end;
{ TCatalogueItemList }
function TCatalogueItemList.GetRowById(AId: Integer): Integer;
var
I: Integer;
begin
Result := -1;
for I := 0 to Pred(Self.Count) do
if Self.Items[I].Id = AId then
begin
Result := I;
Break;
end;
end;
end.
/////// ERROR HAPPENS HERE ////// ???? why is beyond me
It appears that the following declaration:
>>> TCatalogueItemList = class(TIndexedObjectList<TCatalogueItem>) <<<<
causes the following compiler error:
[DCC Error] edGenerics.pas(106): E2010 Incompatible types:
'TCatalogueItem' and 'TIndexedObject'
However the compiler shows the error at the END of the compiled unit (line 106), not on the declaration itself, which does not make any sense to me...
Basically the idea is that I have a generic list descending from TObjectList that I can extend with new functionality on an as needs basis. Any help with this would be GREAT!!!
I should add, using Delphi 2010.
Thanks.
Your error is in the type casting, and the compiler error is OK (but it fails to locate the correct file in my Delphi XE3).
Your ItemByIndex method is declared:
TIndexedObjectList<T>.ItemByIndex(AIndex: Integer): T;
But then you have the line:
Result := TIndexedObject(nil);
This is fine for the parent class TIndexedObjectList, where the result of the function is of type TIndexedObject, but is not OK for the descendant class TCatalogueItemList, where the result of the function is of the type TCatalogueItem.
As you may know, a TCatalogueItem instance is assignment compatible with a TIndexedObject variable, but the opposite is not true. It translates to something like this:
function TCatalogueItemList.ItemByIndex(AIndex: Integer): TCatalogueItem;
begin
Result := TIndexedObject(nil); //did you see the problem now?
To initialize the result to a nil value, you can call the Default() pseudo-function, like this:
Result := Default(T);
In Delphi XE or greater, the solution is also generic. Rather than type-casting the result as a fixed TIndexedObjectList class, you apply a generic type casting use the T type
Result := T(nil);
//or
Result := T(SomeOtherValue);
But, in this specific case, type-casting a nil constant is not needed, since nil is a special value that is assignment compatible with any reference, so you just have to replace the line with:
Result := nil;
And it will compile, and hopefully work as you expect.
How can I properly free the component once i make it with a loop like this? If I free it like I do now I get some GETMEM.INC exception. I am coming from Indy so i don't really know ICS too much.

You never allocate any memory for Result, Asynch, or S. You need to SetLength on each of them before you can put anything into them (or take anything back out).
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
i:integer;
begin
SetLength(Result, Length(URLS));
SetLength(S, Length(URLS));
SetLength(Asynch, Length(URLS));
for i := 0 to High(URLS) do begin
S[i]:=TMemoryStream.Create;
Result[i]:=TStringList.Create;
Async[i]:=TSslHttpCli.Create(nil);
// etc.
end;
end;
BTW, Result is a terrible name for a variable, especially one that's global in scope. It's the return value from a function that's automatically generated by the compiler, and use anywhere but in a function makes your code hard to read. See this, for instance:
var
Result: string = '';
procedure AddToReslt(CharToAdd: Char);
begin
// Many many lines of code
// go in here. Maybe a few loops
// of if statements.
Result := Result + CharToAdd;
end;
function DoSomeMath: Integer;
begin
// Some really complex numeric code, maybe
// calculating the value of `pi` to the 900th
// digit
Result := 2 * 2;
end;
Now quickly - remembering that each of them containss lots of code - which one is a function and which is a procedure?
How do I get a list of the running processes (with details of PID, Owner etc) on my machine using Delphi?
EDIT: None of the solutions proposed gives me the user that owns the process, only info such as PID, ExeName etc...
One way is using the Tool Help library (see TlHelp32 unit), or EnumProcesses on Windows NT (see PsAPI unit). Have a look at JclSysInfo.RunningProcessesList in the JCL for an example.
Here's a quick example of how to get the user name of a process:
type
PTokenUser = ^TTokenUser;
TTokenUser = packed record
User: SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES;
end;
function GetProcessUserName(ProcessID: Cardinal; out DomainName, UserName: string): Boolean;
var
ProcessHandle, ProcessToken: THandle;
InfoSize, UserNameSize, DomainNameSize: Cardinal;
User: PTokenUser;
Use: SID_NAME_USE;
_DomainName, _UserName: array[0..255] of Char;
begin
Result := False;
DomainName := '';
UserName := '';
ProcessHandle := OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION or PROCESS_VM_READ, False, ProcessID);
if ProcessHandle = 0 then
Exit;
try
if not OpenProcessToken(ProcessHandle, TOKEN_QUERY, ProcessToken) then
Exit;
try
GetTokenInformation(ProcessToken, TokenUser, nil, 0, InfoSize);
User := AllocMem(InfoSize * 2);
try
if GetTokenInformation(ProcessToken, TokenUser, User, InfoSize * 2, InfoSize) then
begin
DomainNameSize := SizeOf(_DomainName);
UserNameSize := SizeOf(_UserName);
Result := LookupAccountSid(nil, User^.User.Sid, _UserName, UserNameSize, _DomainName, DomainNameSize, Use);
if Result then
begin
SetString(DomainName, _DomainName, StrLen(_DomainName));
SetString(UserName, _UserName, StrLen(_UserName));
end;
end;
finally
FreeMem(User);
end;
finally
CloseHandle(ProcessToken);
end;
finally
CloseHandle(ProcessHandle);
end;
end;
This is the function we use to check if a process exists, the FProcessEntry32 holds all the info on the process, so you should be able to extend it to what every you need.
it was taken from here
uses TlHelp32
function processExists(exeFileName: string): Boolean;
{description checks if the process is running
URL: http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/torry/showcode.php?id=2554}
var
ContinueLoop: BOOL;
FSnapshotHandle: THandle;
FProcessEntry32: TProcessEntry32;
begin
FSnapshotHandle := CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0);
FProcessEntry32.dwSize := SizeOf(FProcessEntry32);
ContinueLoop := Process32First(FSnapshotHandle, FProcessEntry32);
Result := False;
while Integer(ContinueLoop) <> 0 do
begin
if ((UpperCase(ExtractFileName(FProcessEntry32.szExeFile)) =
UpperCase(ExeFileName)) or (UpperCase(FProcessEntry32.szExeFile) =
UpperCase(ExeFileName))) then
begin
Result := True;
end;
ContinueLoop := Process32Next(FSnapshotHandle, FProcessEntry32);
end;
CloseHandle(FSnapshotHandle);
end;
The TProcessEntry32 record looks like so:
tagPROCESSENTRY32 = packed record
dwSize: DWORD;
cntUsage: DWORD;
th32ProcessID: DWORD; // this process
th32DefaultHeapID: DWORD;
th32ModuleID: DWORD; // associated exe
cntThreads: DWORD;
th32ParentProcessID: DWORD; // this process's parent process
pcPriClassBase: Longint; // Base priority of process's threads
dwFlags: DWORD;
szExeFile: array[0..MAX_PATH - 1] of Char;// Path
end;
You have to use:
CreateToolhelp32Snapshot Function
Process32First Function
Process32Next Function
PROCESSENTRY32 Structure will contain all the informations that you may need.
The documentation is from MDSN, for C++, but it's the same in Delphi.

You could look at using the WMISet components ($69 single licence, $199 for site licence, trial version available). The TWmiProcessControl component seems to encapsulate calls to Win32_Process. They also have an example of getting a process owner.
