Get ProcessName from Visual C++ - c++

Question

In Visual C++, am getting the title of the current window using
::GetWindowText(wnd, str, 290);
strcpy(curr_wnd_txt, str);
But how can i get the Process Name of the Application for example "Iexplore" for Using Internet Explorer, "Skype" for window with tile "Skype - username", "Explorer" for using windows explorer ?
This is what i tried :
void CMainWndDlg::Monitor_ActiveWindowCaptions()
{
HWND hwnd;
DWORD process_id=0;
GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &process_id);
CString strEXEName = GetEXEName (process_id);
}
CString GetEXEName(DWORD dwProcessID)
{
DWORD aProcesses [1024], cbNeeded, cProcesses;
unsigned int i;
if (!EnumProcesses(aProcesses, sizeof(aProcesses), &cbNeeded))
return "";
cProcesses = cbNeeded / sizeof(DWORD);
TCHAR szEXEName[MAX_PATH];
for (i = 0; i < cProcesses; i++)
{
if (aProcesses [i] == dwProcessID)
{
HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION |
PROCESS_VM_READ, FALSE, dwProcessID);
if (NULL != hProcess)
{
HMODULE hMod;
DWORD cbNeeded;
if(EnumProcessModules(hProcess, &hMod,
sizeof(hMod), &cbNeeded))
{
GetModuleBaseName(hProcess, hMod, szEXEName,
sizeof(szEXEName)/sizeof(TCHAR));
return CString (szEXEName);
}
}
}
}
return "";
}

Answer 1

GetModuleFileName() can be used to retrieve the path of the executable file of the current process.

Answer 2

You will have to enumerate the windows, get the process handle, and then get the name of the executable from the function below.
#include "psapi.h"
#pragma comment(lib, "psapi.lib")
CString GetEXEName(DWORD dwProcessID)
{
DWORD aProcesses [1024], cbNeeded, cProcesses;
unsigned int i;
//Enumerate all processes
if (!EnumProcesses(aProcesses, sizeof(aProcesses), &cbNeeded))
return NULL;
// Calculate how many process identifiers were returned.
cProcesses = cbNeeded / sizeof(DWORD);
TCHAR szEXEName[MAX_PATH];
//Loop through all process to find the one that matches
//the one we are looking for
for (i = 0; i < cProcesses; i++)
{
if (aProcesses [i] == dwProcessID)
{
// Get a handle to the process
HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION |
PROCESS_VM_READ, FALSE, dwProcessID);
// Get the process name
if (NULL != hProcess)
{
HMODULE hMod;
DWORD cbNeeded;
if(EnumProcessModules(hProcess, &hMod,
sizeof(hMod), &cbNeeded))
{
//Get the name of the exe file
GetModuleBaseName(hProcess, hMod, szEXEName,
sizeof(szEXEName)/sizeof(TCHAR));
return CString (szEXEName);
}
}
}
}
return NULL;
}
