how to get memory used by any process programatically in vC++ in windows mobile

Question

I tried to get memory used by a individual process by using

BOOL WINAPI GetProcessMemoryInfo(
  __in   HANDLE Process,
  __out  PPROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS ppsmemCounters,
  __in   DWORD cb
);

But it is showing error saying undeclared identifier in PROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS . I have included the header-file "psapi.h" .

Anyone please suggest any API.

Thanks, M

GetProcessMemoryInfo is not a Windows Mobile or Windows CE SDK function, it's for the desktop. You'll need to use the ToolHelp API functions ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa915058.aspx ) to get a process memory snapshot and also the undocumented CeGetProcVMInfo from pkfuncs.h.
