My aplication name

neliocc

Hi everybody.How can i get the entire path of an aplication when its excecuted??. For example, when the user runs my aplication, i want in the WM_CREATE message, call the function GetAppName created by my and get C:\....\myApp.exe

Steve Messer

CString GetExePath()
{
	CString str;
	TCHAR szEXEPath[MAX_PATH];
	
	GetModuleFileName ( NULL, szEXEPath, MAX_PATH );
	
	str = szEXEPath;

	CString s1,s3;

	int pos = str.ReverseFind( '\\' );
	
	CString s2;

	s2 = str.Left( pos+1 );
	return s2;
}

This should get you started.

No problem good luck coding.

While smesser's technique works (using the reversefind), I prefer using the _splithpath so here's an alternative:

TCHAR buff[MAX_PATH];
GetModuleFileName(NULL, buff, MAX_PATH);

char drive[2];
char dir[MAX_PATH];
char fname[MAX_PATH];
char ext[MAX_PATH];
_splitpath(buff, drive, dir, fname, ext);
