Retrieving the Connection Name

To retrieve the name of the network resource associated with a local device, an application can use the WNetGetConnection function, as shown in the following example.

CHAR szDeviceName[80];

DWORD dwResult, cchBuff = sizeof(szDeviceName);

dwResult = WNetGetConnection("z:",

(LPSTR) szDeviceName,

&cchBuff);

switch (dwResult) {

case NO_ERROR:

TextOut(hdc, 10, 10, (LPSTR) szDeviceName,

lstrlen((LPSTR) szDeviceName));

break;

case ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED:

TextOut(hdc, 10, 10, "Device z: not connected.", 24);

case ERROR_CONNECTION_UNAVAIL:

/* A connection is remembered but not connected. */

TextOut(hdc, 10, 10, "Connection unavailable.", 23);

default:

/*

* An application-defined error handler is demonstrated in the

* section titled "Retrieving Network Errors."

*/

NetErrorHandler(hwnd, dwResult, (LPSTR)"WNetGetConnection");

return FALSE;

}
