Hello again.
Is there a tool to monitor memory usage while running a VB6 program?
I believe the person asking wants to gauge the penalty in using large arrays, etc.
There are a lot of VB6 tools available - Process Viewer, ROT Viewer - but I don't know
what they're for.
Thanks, Andy.

The Processes tab of the Task Manager built into Windows displays the amount of memory used by programs and processes.
Best wishes,

Re: Monitor memory usage VB6
Hello and thank you.
I did mention that, but wondered if any of the VB6 tools that I see listed in my menu do something
similar (and more specific to VB6)?
Alternatively, I was thinking they could just send the time and the procedure name to the debug window
at specific points in the code?
Thanks again, Andy.

Re: Monitor memory usage VB6
The article Determine memory usage contains code that will return memory usage; you could tweak this for your purposes.
You might also be able to use Using PSAPI to get a complete task list and memory usage.
