GetModuleHandle Problem
-
Hi, every one, I got a problem when using the
::GetModuleHandleAPI, it always fails if I pass in an absolute path, for example,::GetModuleHandle("c:\\my app\\app.dll");will fail even though the file "c:\\my app\\app.dll" exists, but if I copy the program into that directory and call::GetModuleHandle("app");it succeeds. Why can't I use an absolute path for the module? Thank you. -

The one your process is loading is probably not the full path you are testing. You can try this topic from MSDN: "Enumerating All Modules For a Process" to determine if the module you are loading is actually from the path you suspect. If it is not indeed loaded from that specific path, then the function call will fail.
