Getting prog. FileName...

I am working on improving my window manager, and I want to tell the window's name and its file name. I already have it all except the file name. I tried ways of GetModuleFileName();, but they aren't working. How do I get the file name of an open window?

There would be several problems in this, syntax. Would you get the last current document? All of them of one window? What view class are you getting them from (RichEdit, HTML, Tree, List)? But If I were you I would mess around with sorting parent and child windows first, then refine your function.

Use GetWindowModuleFileName().

I tried it, but it says implicit declaration of int GetWindowModuleFileName(...);

You may need an update of the Platform SDK. I'm guessing it's a relatively new function.

I found that function in the Win32 API Reference - perhaps you haven't linked the libraries properly or have forgotten to include <windows.h> (I doubt it)? Anyway:

he GetModuleFileName function retrieves the full path and filename for the executable file containing the specified module.

Windows 95: The GetModuleFilename function will return long filenames when an application’s version number is greater than or equal to 4.00 and the long filename is available. Otherwise, it returns only 8.3 format filenames.

DWORD GetModuleFileName(

HMODULE hModule, // handle to module to find filename for
LPTSTR lpFilename, // pointer to buffer for module path
DWORD nSize // size of buffer, in characters
);
Parameters

hModule

Identifies the module whose executable filename is being requested. If this parameter is NULL, GetModuleFileName returns the path for the file used to create the calling process.

lpFilename

Points to a buffer that is filled in with the path and filename of the given module.

nSize

Specifies the length, in characters, of the lpFilename buffer. If the length of the path and filename exceeds this limit, the string is truncated.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is the length, in characters, of the string copied to the buffer.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If a module is loaded in two processes, its module filename in one process may differ in case from its module filename in the other process.

:confused: Not sure.

You need to update your Windows header files. That function is defined in winuser.h, so you'll need to paste its definition into the file already on your system. Here's the listing from the SDK:

Code:

---

WINUSERAPI UINT WINAPI GetWindowModuleFileNameA(
  IN HWND hwnd,
  OUT LPSTR pszFileName,
  IN UINT cchFileNameMax);
WINUSERAPI UINT WINAPI GetWindowModuleFileNameW(
  IN HWND hwnd,
  OUT LPWSTR pszFileName,
  IN UINT cchFileNameMax);
#ifdef UNICODE
#define GetWindowModuleFileName GetWindowModuleFileNameW
#else
#define GetWindowModuleFileName GetWindowModuleFileNameA
#endif

You might want to download a fresh edition of the SDK (November is the most current), especially if you're using Dev-C++.
