Title: Show free Ram on a tiny title bar example.

Here is a simple Masm32 example that sits at the center-top of your screen which displays your available free RAM. This little tool is always on top so it can be seen at all times. Shows you how to round a region, how to create a dragable windowless title bar and how to retrieve and display your systems available free RAM using a timer. I've tested it on both Win 7 and XP.

Or it can be downloaded from my site link below.

Hi Dave, I had a somewhat boring Sunday so I had me some alcohol then started playing around with coding and that little FreeMem utility is what happened. I really don't remember doing it but today I checked it over and it looks OK so I decided to post it for others to play with. :bg

Hi,

Works with Windows 2000. Nice one. Windows 98 did
not like it.

Thanks,

Hi Bill,

Nice tool. FYI there is a great little function in the SHLWAPI library that will do the bytes to KB/MB/GB/TB conversion for you.

StrFormatByteSize64 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb759971%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)

Takes the headache out of doing all the conversions. (note that though the docs don't say it it does do TB conversions)
