I've a problem retrieving the full path of exe using GetModuleFileName
function inside a CBT hook for newly activated windows, I use the following
code as I received from here in previous posts.

GetModuleFileName(((HMODULE)GetWindowLong(hwndToNewWindow,
GWL_HINSTANCE)),buff,sizeof(buff));

when I use this function as shown above, sometimes I get the full path to
the exe for the newly created windows correct 100%, but sometimes I receive
strange results, example: if I try to run the hook, and opened an
application build by BCB, I receive the following as the path to the exe
name "c:\Windows\VCL50.bpl" !!!...

Can anybody help me please and tell me why I receive such problem....

thanks
