GetModuleFileName
The GetModuleFileName function retrieves the full path and filename for the executable file
containing the specified module.
Windows 95: The GetModuleFilename function will return long filenames when an application's version number is
greater than or equal to 4.00 and the long filename is available. Otherwise, it
returns only 8.3 format filenames.
DWORD GetModuleFileName(
HMODULE hModule,
| // handle to module to find filename for
| LPTSTR lpFilename,
| // pointer to buffer for module path
| DWORD nSize
| // size of buffer, in characters
| );
|
|
Parameters
hModule
Identifies the module whose executable filename is being requested. If this
parameter is NULL, GetModuleFileName returns the path for the file used to create the calling process.
lpFilename
Points to a buffer that is filled in with the path and filename of the given
module.
nSize
Specifies the length, in characters, of the lpFilename buffer. If the length of the path and filename exceeds this limit, the string
is truncated.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the length, in characters, of
the string copied to the buffer.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
If a module is loaded in two processes, its module filename in one process may
differ in case from its module filename in the other process.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
