How can I obtain information about PC performance using C++?

eg. CPU and Page File usage.

You can use the Pdh...... functions.

Search MSDN for PdhOpenQuery and other functions in the same family.

Thanks!

I found some examples to use from MSDN however they don't compile.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...se/writing_performance_data_to_a_log_file.asp

I created a Console app the supports MFC and copied the code from this URL into the cpp.
I always get a linking problem. I looked in the help bt I can't seem to get past this.

Linking Error when compiling:
WinPerform2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _PdhEnumObjectItemsA@36
Debug/WinPerform2.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Thanks
