If I have a dll called “foo.dll” and the end user renames it to “bar.dll”. After calling to a LoadLibrary, how can I get the name “bar.dll” from inside my dll?

Is it GetModuleFileName(hModule, buffer); ?

    yes, you need to store hModule in DllMain

    BOOL WINAPI DllMain(HINSTANCE hinstDLL,  DWORD fdwReason,  LPVOID lpvReserved)
    {
      switch (fdwReason)
      {
        case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
          hModule = hinstDLL;
          break;
      }
    }
