NETRESOURCE Structure

typedef struct _NETRESOURCE { 
    DWORD dwScope;
    DWORD dwType;
    DWORD dwDisplayType;
    DWORD dwUsage;
    LPTSTR lpLocalName;
    LPTSTR lpRemoteName;
    LPTSTR lpComment;
    LPTSTR lpProvider;
} NETRESOURCE, *LPNETRESOURCE;

dwScope

This is one of:

RESOURCE_CONNECTED - a network resource that is currently connected or persistent (i.e., returns WN_SUCCESS from WNetGetConnection).
RESOURCE_GLOBALNET - a network resource (may or may not be connected).
RESOURCE_REMEMBERED - a persistent connection.
RESOURCE_RECENT - a recently connected remote resource.
RESOURCE_CONTEXT - the resources associated with the user's current and default network context.

dwType

This can be one of:

RESOURCETYPE_DISK

RESOURCETYPE_PRINT

RESOURCETYPE_ANY

The value RESOURCETYPE_ANY is used if the resource matches more than one (e.g., a container of both print and disk resources), or a resource which is neither print or disk.

dwDisplayType

This field is set to indicate what display type a User Interface uses to represent this resource. Currently defined types are:

RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_ROOT	The root of networks
RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_NETWORK	a network
RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_DOMAIN	collection of servers
RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_SERVER	a server
RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_SHARE	a share point RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_SHAREADMIN - an administrative share point
RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_DIRECTORY	a directory
RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_GENERIC	unspecified

dwUsage

This field is only defined if dwScope is RESOURCE_GLOBALNET or RESOURCE_CONTEXT.

The field is a bit mask which may contain any of:

RESOURCEUSAGE_CONNECTABLE	Can connect to resource by a call to WNetAddConnection or WNetAddConnection2. If dwType is RESOURCETYPE_DISK, then, once the resource is connected to, the file APIs (e.g., FindFirstFile, FindNextFile) can be used to enumerate any files and directories contained within it.
RESOURCEUSAGE_CONTAINER	Resource contains other resources that can be enumerated using the WNetOpenEnum, WNetEnumResource, and WNetCloseEnum APIs. The resource may not currently contain any resources (i.e. the first NPEnumResource call may return WN_NO_MORE_ENTRIES).
RESOURCEUSAGE_NOLOCALDEVICE	Resource can be connected to without associating a local device (such as D: or LPT1).
RESOURCEUSAGE_SIBLING	Resource is a sibling of the previous resource returned from the current enumeration (only set if dwScope is RESOURCE_CONTEXT, since resources are always siblings of each other if dwScope is RESOURCE_GLOBALNET).

lpLocalName

If dwScope is RESOURCE_CONNECTED or RESOURCE_REMEMBERED, this will contain the name of a redirected local device (NULL if the connection is a deviceless connection). It is undefined otherwise.

lpRemoteName

This contains a remote network name if the entry is a network resource. This name may be then passed to WNetAddConnection to make a network connection if dwUsage has RESOURCEUSAGE_CONNECTABLE. If the entry is a current or persistent connection, this field will refer to the name of the network resource which is redirected to lpLocalName.

lpComment

This may be any NP supplied comment.

lpProvider

Specifies the name of the NP owning this resource. It may be NULL if it is not known.
