    You can use command line arguments.
    Code:
    int main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
        printf("Program Executed = %s\n", argv[0]);
        return 0;
    }

    too bad I cant use int main, but I have to use WINAPI WinMain and the command line argument is only one lpCmdLine and no exe name in it...

    Must be a windows question then
    This question has been answered before on the windows board, try a search
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <iostream>
    
    
    int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE,HINSTANCE,LPSTR,int)
    {
    	MessageBox(HWND_DESKTOP,GetCommandLine(),0,MB_OK);
    	return 0;
    }
