mirror-processhacker/2.x/trunk/ProcessHacker/sdk

This SDK allows you to create plugins for Process Hacker.



Doxygen output is supplied in the doc\doxygen directory.

Header files are supplied in the include directory.

Import libraries are supplied in the lib directory.

Samples are supplied in the samples directory.



The latest version of the Windows SDK is required to build

plugins.



Add the include directory to your compiler's include paths,

and add the lib\<platform> directory to your compiler's library

paths. Your plugin must be a DLL, and should at minimum use the

libraries ProcessHacker.lib and ntdll.lib. Your plugin should

include the <phdk.h> header file in order to gain access to:



* phlib functions

* Process Hacker application functions

* The Native API



Some functions are not exported by Process Hacker. If you

receive linker errors, check if the relevant function is

marked with PHLIBAPI or PHAPPAPI; if not, the function

cannot be used by your plugin.



If you wish to use Native API functions available only on

platforms newer than Windows XP, set PHNT_VERSION to the

appropriate value before including <phdk.h>:



    #define PHNT_VERSION PHNT_WIN7 // or PHNT_VISTA

    #include <phdk.h>



To load a plugin, create a directory named "plugins" in the

same directory as ProcessHacker.exe and copy the plugin DLL

file into that directory. Then enable plugins in Options and

restart Process Hacker. Note that plugins will only work if

Process Hacker's executable file is named ProcessHacker.exe.
