Get list of files in application directory

I am developing a C++ application for win32 console

I need to get list of files in my application directory

(for example if my application had been started in C:\arash\app\ I need list of files in this folder)

I searched and find FindFirstFile function in windows.h header , But this function need a directory path .

Can I use this function for getting list of files in my application running directory?

Thanks

The current working directory is '.'.

As noted in comments, this isn't necessarily the directory you want.

Use GetModuleFileName() with a NULL module handle to get the path and filename of the .exe file. You can then strip off the filename portion, and use the remaining path as needed.
