NETRESOURCE info  Overview  Group

The NETRESOURCE structure is returned during enumeration of resources on the network and during enumeration of currently connected resources.

typedef struct _NETRESOURCE {  // nr 

    DWORD  dwScope; 

    DWORD  dwType; 

    DWORD  dwDisplayType; 

    DWORD  dwUsage; 

    LPTSTR lpLocalName; 

    LPTSTR lpRemoteName; 

    LPTSTR lpComment; 

    LPTSTR lpProvider; 

} NETRESOURCE; 

 

Members

dwScope

Specifies the scope of the enumeration. Currently, this member can be one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
RESOURCE_CONNECTED	Currently connected resources (the dwUsage member is undefined).
RESOURCE_GLOBALNET	Resources on the network.
RESOURCE_REMEMBERED	Remembered (persistent) connections (dwUsage is undefined).

dwType

Specifies a bitmask that gives the resource type. Currently, this member can be one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
RESOURCETYPE_ANY	All resources
RESOURCETYPE_DISK	Disk resources
RESOURCETYPE_PRINT	Print resources

dwDisplayType

Specifies how the network object should be displayed in a network browsing user interface. Currently, this member can be the following values:

Value	Meaning
RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_DOMAIN
	The object should be displayed as a domain.
RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_GENERIC
	The method used to display the object does not matter.
RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_SERVER
	The object should be displayed as a server.
RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_SHARE
	The object should be displayed as a sharepoint.

dwUsage

Specifies a bitmask that gives the resource usage. This member is defined only if dwScope is RESOURCE_GLOBALNET. Currently, this member can be one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
RESOURCEUSAGE_CONNECTABLE	This is a connectable resource; the name pointed to by the lpRemoteName member can be passed to the WNetAddConnection function to make a network connection.
RESOURCEUSAGE_CONTAINER	This is a container resource; the name pointed to by the lpRemoteName member can be passed to the WNetOpenEnum function to enumerate the resources in the container.

lpLocalName

Points to the name of a local device if the dwScope member is RESOURCE_CONNECTED or RESOURCE_REMEMBERED. This member is NULL if the connection does not use a device. Otherwise, it is undefined.

lpRemoteName

Points to a remote network name if the entry is a network resource.

If the entry is a current or persistent connection, lpRemoteName points to the network name associated with the name pointed to by the lpLocalName member.

lpComment

Points to a provider-supplied comment.

lpProvider

Points to the name of the provider owning this resource. This member can be NULL if the provider name is unknown.
