How to get my own code's module handle? [duplicate]

How do I get the HMODULE for the currently executing code?

I'm trying to find a resource in my own module. If this module is an executable, that's trivial - GetModuleHandle(NULL) returns the handle of the "main" module.

My module, however, is a DLL that is loaded by another executable. So GetModuleHandle(NULL) will return the module handle to that executable, which is obviously not what I want.

Is there any way to determine the module handle of the module that contains the currently running code? Using the DLL's name in a call to GetModuleHandle() seems like a hack to me (and is not easily maintainable in case the code in question is transplanted into a different DLL).

Answer 1

Store the module handle away when it is given to you in DllMain and then use it later when you actually need it. A lot of frameworks (e.g., MFC) do this automatically.

Answer 2

If DLL is linked with MFC then there is a way to get instance of the DLL in which some function was called:

void dll_function()
  {
  AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
  HINSTANCE dll_instance = AfxGetInstanceHandle();
  }
