The WNetGetDirectoryType function retrieves the type of a given directory. The type is defined by the network driver and is used to modify the display of the drive tree in File Manager. In this way, the network driver can show special directories to the user.
lpName
Points to a null-terminated string specifying a directory name. The names must be unambiguous, contain no wildcard characters and be fully qualified.
lpType
Points to a 16-bit variable to receive the directory type. The network driver copies the the type before returning. The type can be one of the following values.
| Value | Meaning |
| WNDT_NORMAL (0) | A local directory. File Manager displays the directory icon. |
| WNDT_NETWORK (1). | A network directory. File Manager displays a special network folder icon. |
For Windows 3.1, File Manager will supply its own icon for all special network directories. If the network driver returns an error, File Manager assumes the specified directory is a local directory.
The return value is one of the following.
| Value | Meaning |
| WN_NET_ERROR | A network error occurred. |
| WN_SUCCESS | Success. |
The export ordinal for this function is 30.
WNetGetDirectoryType is called from all directories that are displayed, not only directories on the network.
