map directory

[sarto76]

Hallo,

I was searching in the help and internet but no success.

How can I map a server's directory with labWindows/CVI?

for example I wanto to map M: "\\192.168.1.30\pictures"

Thank you very much

You might like to look at the Windows SDK functions WNetAddConnection2() and WNetAddConnection3(). Documentation is available in the MSDN library that comes with CVI or online at http://msdn.microsoft.com.

Thank you very much.

Another question: I have to include also some library or it's allready included for those functions?

As Martin says, you can use the WNetAddConnection2() function if you have the Windows SDK installed.  I have attached an example CVI project that does that.

You need to #include windows.h and Winnetwk.h in your source file.

You need to add mpr.lib to your project file.

If you don't have the Windows SDK installed, you need to reinstall CVI, adding the option for SDK.

There's more help info at MSDN here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa385413(VS.85).aspx

Look at the attached example and let me know if you have more questions.
