@msdn=http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx?qu=$$$ @pinvoke=http://pinvoke.net/$$$.htm Summary: Retrieves the name of the executable file for the specified process. !!!!C# Signature: [DllImport("psapi.dll")] static extern uint GetProcessImageFileName( IntPtr hProcess, [Out] StringBuilder lpImageFileName, [In] [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] int nSize ); !!!!VB Signature: Declare Function GetProcessImageFileName Lib "psapi.dll" <DllImport("psapi.dll")> _ Public Shared Function GetProcessImageFileName( ByVal hProcess As IntPtr, <Out> lpImageFileName As StringBuilder, <[In]> <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)> uSize As Integer ) As UInteger End Function !!!!User-Defined Types: None. !!!!Alternative Managed API: Do you know one? Please contribute it! !!!!Notes: From MSDN: The GetProcessImageFileName function returns the path in device form, rather than drive letters. For example, the file name C:\Winnt\System32\Ctype.nls would look as follows in device form: \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1\WINNT\System32\Ctype.nls This can be used in place of the GetModuleFileName call, which doesn't work on processes that haven't been loaded by the current one. !!!!Tips & Tricks: I found this to be more comprehensive than GetModuleFileNameEx. Didnt need to enumerate windows or modules !!!!Sample Code: Context: Purpose of program is finding the executable under the mouse cursor..a Point uint pid = 0; StringBuilder fileName = new StringBuilder(2000); /** get the handle for point under cursor **/ IntPtr hWnd = WindowFromPoint(pt); /** Need to get the process ID from handle under cursor **/ GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd, out pid); /** Hook into process **/ IntPtr pic = OpenProcess(NativeMethods.ProcessAccessFlags.All, true, (int)pid); /** This gets the filename of the process image. Path is in device format **/ GetProcessImageFileName(pic, fileName, 2000); MessageBox.Show(fileName.ToString()); Documentation: GetProcessImageFileName@msdn on MSDN
