Thread: HMODULE from current DLL

That was the only bit I typed out rather than copying & pasting, and I messed it up. The code actually reads

Code:

myClass myInstance( hinstDLL_ );

If I do the following, it works perfectly. But I'd rather not hardcode the filename.

Code:

myClass myInstance( GetModuleHandle("myfile.dll") );

GetModuleHandleEx

Code:

HMODULE GetCurrentModuleHandle()
{
    HMODULE hMod = NULL;
    GetModuleHandleExW(GET_MODULE_HANDLE_EX_FLAG_FROM_ADDRESS | GET_MODULE_HANDLE_EX_FLAG_UNCHANGED_REFCOUNT,
          reinterpret_cast<LPCWSTR>(&GetCurrentModuleHandle),
          &hMod);
     return hMod;
}

Thanks adeyblue. Currently my application runs on Win95+ (other than GetLastError which is 2k+), I'm not keen to introduce dependencies on this newer stuff unless I have to.

Can you think of any other options? I'm still unsure why passing hinstDLL from dllMain isn't working.
