Greetings All

Has anyone out there used WNetAddConnection2 in Delphi 2.0

If so, could you please post a portion of code, I cant seem to get
that dang NetResource portion working, keeps giving me something to
the idea that the passed variables must be the same as the defined
variables or something...

Thanks in Advance

Here is one built on AddConnection3
It could be a lot smoother, but anyway
Be careful to read delphi's declaration of the function
and not just the win32 documentation.  Delphi
sometimes declares the netresources structure as a
parameter where the documentation reads a pointer
to the structure.

Function AddConnection3(WinHandle : Thandle; LoginName, Password, UNC,
Drive :String) : Boolean;
Type
    TmyResource =  TNetResource;
Const
    ToNull = '';
var
     myResource     : TmyResource;
     PtrPassword    : PChar;
     PtrLogin       : PChar;
     ConnectBits    : DWord;
     passedlogin    : string[30];
     passedpword    : string[30];
     passedunc      : string[255];
     PassedLocal    : string[2];
     myResbufsize   : integer;
     Yeah           : integer;
     Nope           : DWord;
begin
     passedlogin := LoginName;
     passedpword := Password;
     passedunc   := UNC;
     passedlocal := Drive;

     PtrPassword := strAlloc(31);
     StrPCopy(PtrPassword, passedpword);
     PtrLogin := strAlloc(31);
     StrPCopy(PtrLogin, passedlogin);

     ConnectBits :=  0;
     myResource.dwtype :=  ResourceType_Disk;
     myResource.dwScope := 0;
     MyResource.dwDisplayType := 0;
     MyResource.dwUsage := 1;
     myResource.lpLocalName := StrAlloc(2);
     StrPCopy(myResource.lpLocalName, ToNull);
     myResource.lpRemoteName := StrAlloc(256);
     StrPCopy(myResource.lpRemoteName, Passedunc);
     myResource.lpProvider := StrAlloc(2);
     StrPCopy(myResource.lpProvider, ToNull);
     myResource.lpComment := StrAlloc(2);
     StrPCopy(myResource.lpComment, ToNull);

     Yeah := WNetAddConnection3(WinHandle, myResource, PtrPassword,
PtrLogin, ConnectBits);
     If Yeah = NO_ERROR then
        Result := true
     Else
         Begin
           Nope := GetLastError;
           If Nope = Error_AlreadyConnected
              then
                 Result := True
           Else
              Begin //resolve Error
                 Result := False;
              End;
         End;
    StrDispose(PtrPassword);
    StrDispose(PtrLogin);
    StrDispose(Myresource.lpLocalName);
    StrDispose(MyResource.lpRemoteName);
    StrDispose(MyResource.lpProvider);
    StrDispose(MyResource.lpComment);
End;
