If you know DLL's name, it is better just to call GetModuleHandle() -
in terms of overhead,

Hardcoding the DLL's name is a far too brittle option for me.

this is much less expensive call, ...

Premature optimization is the root of much evil.

As I said, I do that where I put up a dialog in a function exported from a
DLL. I an afford the call into the kernel.

In fact, if you don't mind a bit of "hacking",

I do mind.

you can obtain all info about user-mode modules from the
PEB yourself - this is how Toolhelp32 obtains info about modules

You never cease to disappoint. First you criticize my use of a documented
function in a totally legitimate way raising some specious argument about
performance. And then you propose an alternative that involves your favored
appriach to software development - the slimy hack.

Will
