Getting the username in windows

[The Mexican]

After looking at the API I found that the GetUsername function should return the username of the current logged user.

Code: Select all

*mem=AllocateMemory(1000)
buff.w=1000
GetUserName_(*mem,buff)
Debug PeekS(*mem)
FreeMemory(*mem)

After compiling this code I get an "invalid memory access" error.
Please help.

Like this :

Code: Select all

Name.s=Space(500)
NameLen=Len(Name) 
GetUserName_(@Name,@NameLen) 
Debug Name

GetUserName_() requires a pointer to an empty string buffer AND a pointer to the length of this buffer. You need to change your code this way or use droopy's code which is much more handy.

Code: Select all

mem=AllocateMemory(1000)
buff.w=1000
GetUserName_(*mem,@buff)
Debug PeekS(*mem)
FreeMemory(*mem)
