how to retrieve the Handle of a dll from inside the dll when it has no DllMain

[subhadas]

I have created a dll. The dll has no DllMain() function. Now from inside the dll I need to retrieve the handle of the dll. The handle is required to retrieve the name of the dll.

Please suggest how to retrieve the Handle of a dll from inside the dll when it has no DllMain.

If you are inside the dll for sure you know the name of the dll, isn't it?

The snippet:
HMODULE GetThisModuleHandle()
{
static MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION mbi = { 0 };
HMODULE hModule = NULL;
SIZE_T ret = 0;

ret = VirtualQuery ((LPCVOID) &mbi, &mbi, sizeof (MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION));
if (ret)
{
hModule = (HMODULE) mbi.AllocationBase;
}

return hModule;
}

Well, generally speaking, you're right. ;)Habitant of delta quadrant may discover himself renamed in the morning, so scratching head is the most common technique for a wakeup, you know. ;)
