Your source code should have one of a DllMain or DllEntryPoint function.
The module handle is specified as a calling argument to those functions.

If you do not have access to the source files for that part of your DLL then
I think you can still get it because of a variable created by the compiler's
startup code.

Add this declaration to tell the compiler about the existance of the
variable.

extern HINSTANCE _hInstance;

And then get the DLL's file name with code like this:

char dll_name[MAX_PATH + 1];

GetModuleHandle((HMODULE) _hInstance, dll_name, sizeof(dll_name));
