Overview of the Windows Networking (WNet) technology.
The Windows Networking (WNet) technology is not associated with any headers.
For programming guidance for this technology, see:
Functions
| MultinetGetConnectionPerformanceA Returns information about the expected performance of a connection used to access a network resource. (ANSI) |
| MultinetGetConnectionPerformanceW Returns information about the expected performance of a connection used to access a network resource. (Unicode) |
| WNetAddConnection2A The WNetAddConnection2 function makes a connection to a network resource and can redirect a local device to the network resource. (ANSI) |
| WNetAddConnection2W The WNetAddConnection2 function makes a connection to a network resource and can redirect a local device to the network resource. (Unicode) |
| WNetAddConnection3A The WNetAddConnection3 function makes a connection to a network resource. The function can redirect a local device to the network resource. (ANSI) |
| WNetAddConnection3W The WNetAddConnection3 function makes a connection to a network resource. The function can redirect a local device to the network resource. (Unicode) |
| WNetAddConnectionA The WNetAddConnection function enables the calling application to connect a local device to a network resource. A successful connection is persistent, meaning that the system automatically restores the connection during subsequent logon operations. (ANSI) |
| WNetAddConnectionW The WNetAddConnection function enables the calling application to connect a local device to a network resource. A successful connection is persistent, meaning that the system automatically restores the connection during subsequent logon operations. (Unicode) |
| WNetCancelConnection2A The WNetCancelConnection2 function cancels an existing network connection. You can also call the function to remove remembered network connections that are not currently connected. (ANSI) |
| WNetCancelConnection2W The WNetCancelConnection2 function cancels an existing network connection. You can also call the function to remove remembered network connections that are not currently connected. (Unicode) |
| WNetCancelConnectionA The WNetCancelConnection function cancels an existing network connection. (ANSI) |
| WNetCancelConnectionW The WNetCancelConnection function cancels an existing network connection. (Unicode) |
| WNetCloseEnum The WNetCloseEnum function ends a network resource enumeration started by a call to the WNetOpenEnum function. |
| WNetConnectionDialog The WNetConnectionDialog function starts a general browsing dialog box for connecting to network resources. The function requires a handle to the owner window for the dialog box. |
| WNetConnectionDialog1A The WNetConnectionDialog1 function brings up a general browsing dialog for connecting to network resources. The function requires a CONNECTDLGSTRUCT to establish the dialog box parameters. (ANSI) |
| WNetConnectionDialog1W The WNetConnectionDialog1 function brings up a general browsing dialog for connecting to network resources. The function requires a CONNECTDLGSTRUCT to establish the dialog box parameters. (Unicode) |
| WNetDisconnectDialog The WNetDisconnectDialog function starts a general browsing dialog box for disconnecting from network resources. The function requires a handle to the owner window for the dialog box. |
| WNetDisconnectDialog1A The WNetDisconnectDialog1 function attempts to disconnect a network resource. (ANSI) |
| WNetDisconnectDialog1W The WNetDisconnectDialog1 function attempts to disconnect a network resource. (Unicode) |
| WNetEnumResourceA The WNetEnumResource function continues an enumeration of network resources that was started by a call to the WNetOpenEnum function. (ANSI) |
| WNetEnumResourceW The WNetEnumResource function continues an enumeration of network resources that was started by a call to the WNetOpenEnum function. (Unicode) |
| WNetGetConnectionA The WNetGetConnection function retrieves the name of the network resource associated with a local device. (ANSI) |
| WNetGetConnectionW The WNetGetConnection function retrieves the name of the network resource associated with a local device. (Unicode) |
| WNetGetLastErrorA The WNetGetLastError function retrieves the most recent extended error code set by a WNet function. The network provider reported this error code; it will not generally be one of the errors included in the SDK header file WinError.h. (ANSI) |
| WNetGetLastErrorW The WNetGetLastError function retrieves the most recent extended error code set by a WNet function. The network provider reported this error code; it will not generally be one of the errors included in the SDK header file WinError.h. (Unicode) |
| WNetGetNetworkInformationA The WNetGetNetworkInformation function returns extended information about a specific network provider whose name was returned by a previous network enumeration. (ANSI) |
| WNetGetNetworkInformationW The WNetGetNetworkInformation function returns extended information about a specific network provider whose name was returned by a previous network enumeration. (Unicode) |
| WNetGetProviderNameA The WNetGetProviderName function obtains the provider name for a specific type of network. (ANSI) |
| WNetGetProviderNameW The WNetGetProviderName function obtains the provider name for a specific type of network. (Unicode) |
| WNetGetResourceInformationA When provided with a remote path to a network resource, the WNetGetResourceInformation function identifies the network provider that owns the resource and obtains information about the type of the resource. (ANSI) |
| WNetGetResourceInformationW When provided with a remote path to a network resource, the WNetGetResourceInformation function identifies the network provider that owns the resource and obtains information about the type of the resource. (Unicode) |
| WNetGetResourceParentA The WNetGetResourceParent function returns the parent of a network resource in the network browse hierarchy. Browsing begins at the ___location of the specified network resource. (ANSI) |
| WNetGetResourceParentW The WNetGetResourceParent function returns the parent of a network resource in the network browse hierarchy. Browsing begins at the ___location of the specified network resource. (Unicode) |
| WNetGetUniversalNameA The WNetGetUniversalName function takes a drive-based path for a network resource and returns an information structure that contains a more universal form of the name. (ANSI) |
| WNetGetUniversalNameW The WNetGetUniversalName function takes a drive-based path for a network resource and returns an information structure that contains a more universal form of the name. (Unicode) |
| WNetGetUserA The WNetGetUser function retrieves the current default user name, or the user name used to establish a network connection. (ANSI) |
| WNetGetUserW The WNetGetUser function retrieves the current default user name, or the user name used to establish a network connection. (Unicode) |
| WNetOpenEnumA The WNetOpenEnum function starts an enumeration of network resources or existing connections. You can continue the enumeration by calling the WNetEnumResource function. (ANSI) |
| WNetOpenEnumW The WNetOpenEnum function starts an enumeration of network resources or existing connections. You can continue the enumeration by calling the WNetEnumResource function. (Unicode) |
