number crunching under Windows

| A number crunching application built using CVF 6.6C can cause Windows
to behave rather sluggishly. The situation can be remedied by using
CAD to bring up the Task Manager and manually change the priority of
the number crunching program to "Below Normal". Presumably this step
can be avoided by having the program make a call to a Windows API to
set its own priority. Where can I find the documentation for such an
API call? Doesn't Microsoft have all of its Windows API documentation
on a web page somewhere?

The Windows API documentation is online in the CVF help menu. Look for
"SDK" in the title. Look for SetPriorityClass

If you want to do the impossible, don't hire an expert because he knows
it can't be done.

i write batch files to do everything like this instead of embedding in
program. i lower the priority of everything else as windows as lots
of crap running and run apps like NEC in HIGH. so explorer etc get
starved but who cares? look for program call prv. do you really want
your program interrupted because winDoZe decides it is time to clean
the desktop? PFFffff

I only write full fledged GUI applications because that's what users
demand or they won't use them. It matters little whether I isolate a
small number features to command line equivalents to APIs.

As Gary noted, the SDK API doc's at the time of CVF release are w/ the
CVF documentation.
Current platform-specific documentation is available following links
from www.msdn.com
For XP, this leads to
