GetOriginatorProcessId Method

Retrieves the Id of the process (PID) that initiated the operation.

Syntax

• C++

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetOriginatorProcessId();

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetOriginatorProcessId();

#define MID_CBREGISTRY_GETORIGINATORPROCESSID 19

CBFSFILTER_EXTERNAL int CBFSFILTER_CALL CBFSFilter_CBRegistry_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);

Remarks

This method can be called within events fired for registry operations to retrieve the Id of the process (PID) that initiated the operation. If the query fails, this method returns 0.

Please note that PIDs are not unique, and may be reused by different processes over time (though in practice, this is uncommon).

Note: This method can only be called within events.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns an Integer value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
