StatusBarGetText to get CPU Load

[jsteng]

Im trying to use this script

 

while 1
        $rc = StatusBarGetText(Task Manager,'',2)
        if @error > 0 then
            Tooltip('error')
        else
            Tooltip($rc)
        endif
        sleep(250)
wend

 

it is basically the same as the one found in this thread: 

but StatusBarGetText kept giving me blank.

is it due to 10+ years it was no longer valid?

 

thanks

Huh, does it have to be through taskmanager statusbar? or is it ok for you to use other method to get the cpu usage?

Honestly, I wanted to do two things:

Firstly, getting CPU and Memory Load, for the whole machine and not per process.

Secondly, investigating StatusBarGetText, for possible use with other scripts. I was wondering why it was not working for task manager.

thanks

I see, well, if you want an alternative way to get those values, just ask.

As for why it didnt work with task manager, i cant really help atm, but as soon as im home and have time, can test and try.

i think its actually the best option

 

 

 

But Statusbargettext isnt my best part
