#98: How can I retrieve a full path of module in DLL?

If you develops the dll, in some tasks you must know the full path of this\par dll but not the path of application from which was ran this library.
For this task you must use the GetModuleFileName function. View a sample:

var
   DLLFileName: PChar;
begin
  GetMem(DLLFileName, MAX_PATH+1);
  if (DLLFileName <> nil) then
    GetModuleFileName(hInstance, DLLFileName, MAX_PATH);
...
end;

So in pDLLFileName variable you'll have the full path value.
