Determining CPU usage in WinCE

Question

I want to be able to get the current % CPU usage in a C++ program running under Wince.

I found this link that states where the source code is but I cannot find it in my platform builder installation - I expect this is because it isn't the Windows Automotive platform.

Does anyone know where I can find this source code or (even better) know how I can get this information directly? i.e. what DLL / function calls to make etc.

Answer 1

Since GetProcessTimes doesn't exist in CE, you have to calculate this.

You have to start with the toolhelp APIs to enumerat the processes and the threads in the processes. You tehn call GetThreadTimes for each thread and add all that up.

Bear in mind that the act of calculating this info will affect the CPU utilization.
