Windows NT Only
To make a connection to a network resource described by a NETRESOURCE structure, an application can call the WNetAddConnection2 function, as shown in the following example.
DWORD dwResult;
NETRESOURCE nr;
dwResult = WNetAddConnection2(&nr, // NETRESOURCE from enumeration
(LPSTR) NULL, // no password
(LPSTR) NULL, // logged-in user
CONNECT_UPDATE_PROFILE); // update profile with connect info
if (dwResult == ERROR_ALREADY_ASSIGNED)
{
TextOut(hdc, 10, 10, "Already connected to specified resource.", 40);
return FALSE;
}
else if (dwResult == ERROR_DEVICE_ALREADY_REMEMBERED)
{
TextOut(hdc, 10, 10,
"Attempted reassignment of remembered device.", 44);
return FALSE;
}
else if(dwResult != NO_ERROR)
{
// An application-defined error handler is demonstrated in the
// section titled "Retrieving Network Errors."
NetErrorHandler(hwnd, dwResult, (LPSTR)"WNetAddConnection2");
return FALSE;
}
TextOut(hdc, 10, 10, "Connected to specified resource.", 32);
The WNetAddConnection function is supported for compatibility with earlier versions of Windows for Workgroups. For new applications, use WNetAddConnection2 or WNetAddConnection3.
