Question

In Native C++, how can I get the current process Name and date time. I am not a C++ programmer.

In C#, it is very trivial to do it like this:

Process name:

Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName

Date Time:

DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd_HH.mm.ss.ff")

How can they be retrieved in C++ native?

Answer 1

To get the name of the current process you can use GetModuleFileName():

char exe_path[MAX_PATH];
GetModuleFileName(NULL, exe_path, MAX_PATH);

You can then extract the part of exe_path after the last \ character.

To get the current time, you can use std::time().
