Get Computer Name in mql4 - page 3

New comment
 

When I run the GetComputerNameA() function or the ExpandEnvironmentStringsA() it returns nothing for me, just 0.

Does this only work in MQL5?

I can only use MQL4.

Thanks

Hi,

I want to get computer name in mql4 in order to make original log file including computer name which MetaTrader runs.

I think it is possible using GetComputerName function in kernel32.dll, but I don't know how to implement it in mql4. I found a kernel32 api example and modified it, but it doesn't work. Can anybody teach me how to use GetComputerName function in mql4?

I tried following code, but terminal says "GetComputerName GBPUSD,H1: cannot call function 'GetComputerName' from dll 'kernel32.dll' (error 127)".

Thank you.

Where shout this function be declared in my program i would like to use it but its giving me errors
