What do you mean by the "running application". Do you mean the programs own executable name? Look up GetModuleFileName

hi,
Thnx for the reply.. Yes I mean program's own executable name.. GetModuleFilename() returns the complete path.. but I need only the current running exe name.. Is extracting out of Getmodulefilename() the only way? I searched MSDN.. but no luck..

Thnx in advance,
xoinki

hi,
I found the solution..
1) getmodulfilename()
2) reverse the path
3) find position of first "\"
4) reverse and Strip off tat.

this was my requirement..
thnx
