I am trying to find out how much memory my application is consuming from within the program itself. The memory usage I am looking for is the number reported in the ‘Mem Usage’ column on the Processes tab of Windows Task Manager.

A good starting point would be GetProcessMemoryInfo, which reports various memory info about the specified process. You can pass
GetCurrentProcess()as the process handle in order to get information about the calling process.Probably the
WorkingSetSizemember ofPROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERSis the closest match to the Mem Usage coulmn in task manager, but it’s not going to be exactly the same. I would experiment with the different values to find the one that’s closest to your needs.
