Remarks

For the "raw" VBA/C function, the user must allocate an output string buffer szOutput of the required length. Specify a zero nOutChars or an empty string for szOutput to find the required length of the output string. C/C++ users must add one to this value when allocating memory.

Example (VBA core function)

Dim nChars As Long
Dim strModuleName As String

nChars = API_ModuleName("", 0, 0)
Debug.Assert nChars > 0
strModuleName = String(nChars, " ")
nChars = API_ModuleName(strModuleName, nChars, 0)
Debug.Print strModuleName   ' C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\diCryptoSys.dll

Example (VBA wrapper function)

Debug.Print "ModuleName= " & apiModuleName()
