Program Name...

I want a native function that you can put into a library, (DLL, SO...) that will allow you to tell what program file opened/accessed it.
Much like this does, but cross platform...(Run this from a DLL, and it will return the path/filename of the program file that called it.)
Code: Select all
Procedure.s GetExeName()
sApp.s=Space(256)
GetModuleFileName_(GetModuleHandle_(0), @sApp, 256)
ProcedureReturn sApp
EndProcedure

nco2k, he's looking for something from something inside a DLL that identifies the calling program. Does ProgramFilename() work from within a DLL? (never tried, actually
)

from the docs
Code: Select all
If used inside a Dll, this function returns the path and filename of the dll, not the main program that loaded it.

No, I already tried that function, and luis is right. Inside a DLL, only the DLLs name and path are returned. Whereas...the API call I did in my example, will get the path/name of the executable itself. I just want a way to do that native with PB, so that its cross platform
