Retrieving the User Name

To retrieve the name of the user associated either with a local device connected to a network resource or with the name of a network, an application can call the WNetGetUser function. The following example uses the device name to retrieve the name of the user.

CHAR szUserName[80];

DWORD dwResult, cchBuff = 80;

dwResult = WNetGetUser("z:",

(LPSTR) szUserName,

&cchBuff);

if(dwResult == NO_ERROR)

TextOut(hdc, 10, 10,

(LPSTR) szUserName,

lstrlen((LPSTR) szUserName));

else {

// An application-defined error handler is demonstrated in the

// section titled "Retrieving Network Errors."

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

return FALSE;

}
