Get program name

[dellthinker]

Hi all. Is there some API or standard function to call to retrive the current name of the program running? Something like GetCurrentProcessId(), maybe something like GetCurrentProgramName() or something of the sort. Google and Yahoo dont seem to help and i dont know where to begin this sort of search. Any suggestions? Thanx in advance.

Hi,
did you try :
Process::GetCurrentProcess()->get_ProcessName();

Process::GetCurrentProcess()->get_ProcessName();

That doesnt give you the program name nor PID. GetCurrentProcessId() does. Besides i found out what it is.

include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   cout << argv[0] << endl;
   return 0;
}

Take a look at

GetModuleFileNameEx

Get the Main Window, Get EXE Name

You can do it like this:

TCHAR szpath[MAX_PATH+1] = {0};
::GetModuleFileName(NULL, szpath, MAX_PATH);

std::string nume = szpath;
nume = nume.substr(nume.rfind("\\") + 1);

or, with CString:

TCHAR szpath[MAX_PATH+1] = {0};
::GetModuleFileName(NULL, szpath, MAX_PATH);

CString nume = szpath;
nume = nume.Right(nume.ReverseFind('\\') + 1);
