freeprocess priority

When using TProcess.Create(command, HIDECONSOLE) to spawn a child task. The child is taking almost 100% of the CPU and causes the machine to slow considerably. Is there a way to pass a priority like the task manger accepts? i.e.

Realtime
High
Above Normal
Normal
Below Normal
Low

Priority won't help you here. You need to stop the child process eating up cycles by either implementing a message pump or using a small delay in the main program loop.

Yeah I wrote some code to change the priority in Windows. There's actually two different priority levels: process priority class AND thread priority. Anyway if you set them both too high it can interfere with the OS. In the end I don't use it anyway as it did weird stuff like cause delays to windows redrawing.

Thnks, I want to set the piority of this task to be low so it does not interfere with other windows tasks. I have now written a .VBS scipt to achive this but that wont execute with system_ or freeprocess.Create()??? Arggghhh windows!

Try passing the file path of the VBS file to OpenUrl(). ;-)

@SebHoll, Thnk's that seems to work well.
