DLL's Parent Window Or ParentWindow PID.

[triumphost]

How can I get a DLL's Parent Window Title? OR How can I get the PID of the process that loaded my DLL?

I need this so I can make a file for each process that loads my DLL but the file has to contain some sort of identifier. Something like File.PID.

I decided to use Process ID because I want to do this in a portable way. Is there any portable ways to get the PID that loaded my dll?

Also is there a way I can program for linux on windows? Basically I want to see if a linux system will run my dll (even though I didn't have any ifdef __linux). I'd like to make my DLL run on both windows and linux.

Attempting to do it a "portable" way is useless becuse *nix doesn't support DLLs, instead it has shared libraries with *.so exension.

Also is there a way I can program for linux on windows?

Only if you run *nix in a virtual machine window and use a compiler for *nix such as gcc and/or g++. Have you looked at any of boost cross-platform libraries to see if there is something you can use?

GetModuleFileName() will return the fully qualified path to the processes that loaded your DLL.

Yeah but it's not the path to the process I want. It's the process ID. I can compile my code into a .so? How do I get this shared library thing?

The reason I want the PID is because if one application has many instances, the paths will all be the same. The PID is the only way I can think of to distinguish which one ran it.
