The WNetConnectionDialog
function starts a general browsing dialog box for connecting to network
resources.
DWORD WNetConnectionDialog(
|
HWND hwnd, |
// handle to window
owning dialog box |
|
DWORD dwType |
// resource type to
allow connections to |
|
); |
|

the owning window.

resource type to allow connections to. This parameter can be the following
value:
|
Value |
Meaning |
|
RESOURCETYPE_DISK |
Connects to
disk resources. |
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is NO_ERROR. If the user cancels the dialog
box, it is 0xFFFFFFFF.
If the
function fails, the return value is an error code. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError. GetLastError may return one of the following
error codes:
|
Value |
Meaning |
|
ERROR_EXTENDED_ERROR |
A
network-specific error occurred. To get a description of the error, use the WNetGetLastError function. |
|
ERROR_INVALID_PASSWORD |
The specified
password is invalid. |
|
ERROR_NO_NETWORK |
No network
is present. |
|
ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY |
There is
insufficient memory to start the dialog box. |
The function
returns error codes for compatibility with Windows version 3.1. For
compatibility with the Win32 API, the function also sets the error code value
returned by the GetLastError
function.
Remarks
If the user
chooses OK in the dialog box, the requested network connections will have been
performed when WNetConnectionDialog returns.
If the function
attempts to make a connection and the provider returns the message
ERROR_INVALID_PASSWORD, Windows prompts the user to enter a password and uses
the new password in another attempt to make the connection.
