InternetCreateUrl Function


Creates a URL from its component parts.

Syntax

BOOL InternetCreateUrl( 
    IN LPURL_COMPONENTS lpUrlComponents,
    IN DWORD dwFlags,
    OUT LPTSTR lpszUrl,
    IN OUT LPDWORD lpdwUrlLength
);

The actual syntax of this function varies between its ANSI and Unicode implementations. For more information, see Win32 Internet Functions Syntax.

Parameters

lpUrlComponents
Address of a URL_COMPONENTS structure that contains the components from which to create the URL.
dwFlags
Unsigned long integer value that contains the flags that control the operation of this function. This can be a combination of these values:
ICU_ESCAPE
Converts all escape sequences (%xx) to their corresponding characters.
ICU_USERNAME
When adding the user name, uses the name that was specified at logon time.
lpszUrl
Address of a buffer that receives the URL.
lpdwUrlLength
Address of an unsigned long integer value that contains the length, in TCHARs, of the lpszUrl buffer. When the function returns, this parameter receives the length, in TCHARs, of the URL string, minus 1 for the terminating character. If GetLastError returns ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER, this parameter receives the number of bytes required to hold the created URL.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if the function succeeds, or FALSE otherwise. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
