What executable do you need the name for? Are you launching an executable from your program? Do you want to just find the name of the program you built? Are you running multiple programs simultaneously?

Hello,
I just want to know the name and path of the currently executable, I don't lauch any external program, only DLLs, one session at a time.
thank you for your response.

Every CVI program receives its own name in the first parameter of the main () function.
I store this name in a variable to display in the 'Info' panel, this way:

/****************************************************************************/
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int nc, ctrl;
int tmpH = 0, error = 0;
char a[512];

if (InitCVIRTE (0, argv, 0) == 0)
return -1; /* out of memory */

//-----------------------------------------------------
// Initial operations
//-----------------------------------------------------
StringUpperCase (argv[0]);
strcpy (pgm, argv[0]);
if ((nc = FindPattern (pgm, 0, -1, ".", 0, 0)) > 0) pgm[nc] = 0; // Cut away the extension

...

Hope this helps
Roberto
