Bear::See GDI/User Object usage of all processes

Description:

This program displays for every process under Windows NT:

the usage of all GDI Objects [hDC, hRegion, hBitmap, hPalette, hFont, hBrush]
the usage of all User Objects [hWnd, hMenu, hCursor, SetWindowsHookEx, SetTimer and some other stuff]
the handle count

A double click on a process opens the details view. Each GDI/User object is shown with a description. Make a right click onto Bitmaps, Icons and Cursors to save them.

This program displays under Windows 98:

the usage of all GDI Objects [hDC, hRegion, hBitmap, hPalette, hFont, hBrush]
the usage of GDI, System and User Resources

If a specified handle count limit is reached, a notification can be send. Using Email, PubNub.com or logfile.

Details:

To get the shown information I'm using several different functions:

gdi32.dll:GdiQueryTable()	usable on Windows NT 4 up to Windows XP
PEB->GdiSharedHandleTable	usable on Windows NT 4 and higher
user32.dll:gSharedInfo->aheList / HANDLEENTRY	usable on Windows NT 4 and higher
user32.dll:GetGuiResources()	usable on Windows 2000 and higher
kernel32.dll:GetProcessHandleCount()	usable on Windows XP SP1 and higher
ntdll.dll:NtQuerySystemInformation()	usable on Windows NT 4 up to Windows XP
user32.dll:QueryUserCounters()	usable on Windows 2000 up to Windows XP
gdi32.dll:GetObjectType()	usable on Windows 95/98 only
rsrc32.dll:MyGetFreeSystemResources32()	usable on Windows 95/98 only

Some details about the used GDI Objects method for Windows NT:

The function gdi32.dll:GdiQueryTable returns a pointer to a table with all GDI Objects currently present in Windows. It can contain up to 16384 entries. On Windows NT4, member 'wProcessIdVersion4' contains the owner process id. On Windows 2000 and above, 'wProcessIdVersion5' contains the owner process id. After masking 'wHandleType' with 0x1F you get the handle type.

wHandleType & 0x1F		HGDIOBJ
0x01		hDC
0x04		hRegion
0x05		hBitmap
0x08		hPalette
0x0A		hFont
0x10		hBrush
all other		unknown

#define GDI_TABLE_MAX_ENTRIES 16384
// 16 bytes large
#pragma pack(1)
typedef struct
{

DWORD	dwHandle;	// must be >0x80000000
WORD	wProcessIdVersion5;
WORD	wProcessIdVersion4;
WORD	wUnknown;
WORD	wHandleType;	// mask with 0x1F
DWORD	dwUnknown;

} GDI_TABLE_ENTRY_STRUCT;
#pragma pack()
typedef GDI_TABLE_ENTRY_STRUCT *(WINAPI *GDI_QUERY_TABLE_FUNCTION)(void);

Some details about the used User Objects method for Windows NT:

The function user32.dll:QueryUserCounters fills an array with the counts of all user objects. The real function name is NtUserQueryUserCounters(). This is a stub to the function _QueryUserHandles().
Please note SetTimer() and SetClipboardData() handles are always counted for pid 0 (Idle Process) because they are not owned by the process itself.

typedef BOOL (__stdcall *QUERY_USER_COUNTERS)(IN DWORD dwQueryType,IN LPVOID pvIn,IN DWORD dwInSize,OUT LPVOID pvResult,IN DWORD dwOutSize);
#define QUERYUSER_TYPE_USER 0x01

dwQueryType: QUERYUSER_TYPE_USER.
pvIn: pointer to an array of process id DWORD's.
dwInSize: size of process id array.
pvResult: pointer to an array for the User Object count DWORD's
dwOutSize: size of count array.

I'm using as pvIn only one process id. Therefore dwInSize is sizeof(DWORD). pvResult must point to an array which has the exact size for all possible User Object counts. Under Windows 2000 there are 18, under Windows XP 20. Therefore dwOutSize is 18*sizeof(DWORD) or 20*sizeof(DWORD).
