GetModuleFileNameEx - Is it possible to get the path in char* and NOT in TCHAR[]?

Here is my code:

TCHAR szProcessName[MAX_PATH] = TEXT("<unknown>");
GetModuleFileNameEx (hProcess, NULL, szProcessName, 
                     sizeof(szProcessName)/sizeof(TCHAR));

I need the path in char*, and not in TCHAR[]. Is it somehow possible without converting (WideCharToMultiByte)?

Thanks...

Note that if you're not building a Unicode application (i.e., _UNICODE is not defined), then TCHAR == char

GetModuleFileNameEx is just a macro. You could use GetModuleFileNameExA for ANSI version. It will call GetModuleFileNameExW and then internally make all conversions.

But you should make sure that module filename does not contain Unicode characters.

char szProcessName[MAX_PATH] = "<unknown>";
GetModuleFileNameExA(hProcess, NULL, szProcessName, sizeof szProcessName);
