How to get a HINSTANCE of the current programm ?

[highhead]

Hi,
even if it sounds like a joke, I mean it serious.

Ok, for sure I know that this HINSTANCE is passed via arguments to WinMain.

But what I want to do is, to write some C++-classes that need a HINSTANCE to to program they are used in, and for some reasons, I don't want to pass itfrom WinMain.

So is there a possibility to get a HINSTANCE of the current module from anywhere inside the code ?

thanks for your help

Use GetModuleHandle/Ex

Thanks again
and you are sure a HMODULE is equal to a HINSTANCE ?

"As it turns out, HMODULEs and HINSTANCEs are exactly the same thing. If the documentation for a function indicates that an HMODULE is required, you can pass an HINSTANCE, and vice versa. There are two data types because in 16-bit Windows HMODULEs and HINSTANCEs identified different things." - Jeffrey Richter, Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows
