Board index » Visual Studio » How to Retrieve Module Name

Visual Studio79
Hi all, i have a question for a my program of process information,

probably is a bit complex, hope someone know it and can help me, Some

program often uses various modules or dll to do some function, i need

a method to retrieve the module name used by a program writing the

memory location, for example, i have an application "blabla.exe" and

if i write in my program a memory location of this application for

example 10ABBF i wanna know the module name used by this application,

that sometimes can be a .dll file.

Greetings.

I for one have NO idea what you just said/asked. Try rephrasing.

Sounds like the OP is writing a process explorer type app and wants to,

by checking a particular memory location of another 'loaded'

process/app, find the 'calling' module/dll.



I have no idea if that's right or even possible :)

For Example, some games load various dll modules in memory, if in my

program i write in a textbox the name of a game, i wanna know all

modules that this game use, and if i write in another textbox i write

for example 10ACD i want to know what module is loaded in that

location, i know some programs that can do this, but i don't know is

it's possible in VB6

This can get real ugly real fast, but it's doable. On NT platforms, anyway. Not

sure about 9x.



You'd start with EnumProcesses, to find the process of interest. Once you have

that, you'll use EnumProcessModules, to get handles for each loaded module in that

process. With those, you can query each using calls like GetModuleBaseName,

GetModuleFileNameEx, GetModuleInformation, and GetModuleMemoryInformation.

Somewhere in there, is most of what you're looking for, if not all of it.



Have fun...

From the way he's expressed the question it looks to me like he wants to

determine dependencies on games/programs which may not be running at that

time. Sounds like a job for the Depends applet that shipped with VS6 but

possibly one with a friendlier UI.
