Hi all,

does anybody know how do get the name of a running exe file from the task
list?

Using following code

Dim CurrWnd as long
CurrWnd = GetWindow(frm.hWnd, GW_HWNDFIRST)
while CurrWnd <> 0
...
Length = GetWindowTextLength(CurrWnd)
GetWindowText
...
GetWindow(CurrWnd,GW_HWNDNEXT)
wend

i get the task names of running processes but not the name of the exe file.
Is there a chance to get it and how?

Thanks in advance..

How about using WMI?

It is different to get the exe file name between NT and Win9x.

In NT/Win2K, you need to use
OpenProcess, EnumProcessModules, and GetModuleFileNameEx.

In Win9x, you can use ToolHelp. You need to use CreateToolhelp32Snapshot,
Process32First, th32ProcessID,
Process32Next to iterate through the list of processes to find the one you
want and then get the name of the executable file.
