HOWTO: Use TOOLHELP to Determine Free System Resources

 * }

Q76247

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

-

SUMMARY
In Windows version 3.1, a Windows-based application can obtain the amount of free system resources in two ways:


 * 1) By calling the GetFreeSystemResources function, which is exported by USER.EXE
 * 2) By calling the SystemHeapInfo function, which is exported by the TOOLHELP.DLL dynamic-link library

Under Windows 3.0, the GetFreeSystemResources function is not available. If TOOLHELP.DLL is present, a Windows 3.0 application can use SystemHeapInfo. If TOOLHELP.DLL is not present, there is no supported method for a Windows 3.0 application to obtain the amount of free system resources.
