Hi,

in basic, if i understand that right, we do a OpenProcess(...),
then call a DebugBreakProcess(...) which succeeds on the
call, but the remote process does not break/fail or whatever.
Simply nothing happens,....why?

So, how do i make a remote process being interrupted and
attached to a system installed debugger from within my
application?

regards

K.

The proccess where its PID is passed to DebugBreakProcess must already 
being run under debugger. If the process isn't currently under a 
debugger, it will raise a breakpoint exception where it will treat it as 
an error and it may cause it to terminate abruptly depending on its 
exception handler.

I think what you need is DebugActiveProcess so that the process will 
stop and the control is given to your application as a debugger.

Hi JJ,

thanks for your answer. What i want is to implement a function like
the menu item "Debug" implements in Process Explorer from Sysinternals.
Selecting a Process and then attaching a debugger to it. I have written
my own debugging routines so far, but i want to pass the application
to a installed debugger not my own application. Any idea?

regards

See this article for the registry values in question to read from.
You can then just start that with the given process ID.
