Is it possible to know what processes are running on a symbian phone with Qt?

Question

I know its possible with Symbian C++

as the following code

void GetProcessListL(void)
{
TFullName res;
TFindProcess find;
while(find.Next(res) == KErrNone)
{
    RProcess ph;
    ph.Open(find);

    // here you can use 
    // functions of the RProcess
    // to get more information
    // of the selected process.

    // res will have the process name..

    ph.Close();
}
}

However, is there a way to do this using only Qt?

As Symbian C++ is apparently obsolete, even Nokia does not recommend using it anymore.

thanks,

According to a post on Qt Centre last year:

What Qt APIs will I need to get the processes for the QStringList?

Getting a string list will have to be done in native way, so I can't help you there.

Here's an article on Nokia Developer about Using Qt and Symbian C++ Together using the PIMPL pattern, it shows how to call native Symbian C++ from Qt code. This would of course have to be ported if you want to run it on other platforms.
