filename extracting

[Claudy]

hi,

How can I get the filename of an exe file, from within that executable, while it is running, with the condition that the filename must be extracted BEFORE any window is created?

In other words: I run 'MyApp.exe', in that app before creating any window, I wish to get the filename "MyApp" in a string, extracted from 'MyApp.exe'.
Is this possible?

Use GetModuleFileName()
You get programname with path

Code Select Expand


int nIdx, nLen;
char szExe[260], szTitle[80];

GetModuleFileName(0, szExe, sizeof(szExe));
strcpy(szTitle, strrchr(szExe, '\\')+1);
nLen = strlen(szTitle);
if (nLen > 4) szTitle[nLen-4] = 0;
