How would i be able to find the correct values for the windows API constants: PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS THREAD_ALL_ACCESS

this is for OpenProcess and OpenThread function.

Thanks in advance for any help.

sorry, forget it.

I just output the constants in C to get the values.. should of just done that from the start :right:

just in case anyone else is interested:

THREAD_ALL_ACCESS = 0x001F03FF # in decimal:2032639

PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS = 0x001F0FFF # in decimal:2035711

this is from vista, i think XP and earlier they are different.

good find. I haven't done any py coding lately, but at least you managed to find something.

Not a bad idea :)

I know the OP has already found an answer, but generally for constants used with Windows API function calls: in the MSDN documentation for the functions there will be a table for the constants on one of the pages (somewhere) or at least per parameter where applicable.
