GetModuleHandle
The GetModuleHandle function retrieves a module handle for the specified module if the file has been mapped into the address space of the calling process.
To avoid the race conditions described in the Remarks section, use the GetModuleHandleEx function.
HMODULE GetModuleHandle(
LPCTSTR lpModuleName // module name
);
Parameters
lpModuleName
[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the name of the module (either a .dll or .exe file). If the file name extension is omitted, the default library extension .dll is appended. The file name string can include a trailing point character (.) to indicate that the module name has no extension. The string does not have to specify a path. When specifying a path, be sure to use backslashes (\), not forward slashes (/). The name is compared (case independently) to the names of modules currently mapped into the address space of the calling process.
If this parameter is NULL, GetModuleHandle returns a handle to the file used to create the calling process.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is a handle to the specified module.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
