Detecting the full path-filename of a dll

Question: How can I detect (from a dynamic link library) the full path and file name of where the DLL is running from? Answer: The following example demonstrates a dll function that will detect the full path of where the dll was loaded from. Example: uses Windows; procedure ShowDllPath stdcall; var TheFileName : array[0..MAX_PATH] of char; begin FillChar(TheFileName, sizeof(TheFileName), #0); GetModuleFileName(hInstance, TheFileName, sizeof(TheFileName)); MessageBox(0, TheFileName, 'The DLL file name is:', mb_ok); end;
