Shared folders.

[William GS]

Hello. How can I determine if a folder is shared? if it is shared, how can I
retrieve the resource shared name?

I have:
Folder name ==> C:\WORKS\DOCS
Resoure shared name ==> DOCUMENTS

With 'WNetOpenEnum() ' and 'WNetEnumResour ce()' I can get '\\MYPC\DOCUMEN TS'
but there is not relation with real name folder.

Thanks in advance,
William GS

You can use SHGetFileInfo and look at the attributes in the SHFILEINFO
object. If SFGAO_SHARE is set then the file or folder or device is shared.

Having the shared name you can get the local folder path using
NetShareGetInfo (), but more useful in your case is WNetGetUniversa lName(),
which can do the opposite. Here's an example of NetShareGetInfo (), btw:

Hi Tomas, it works fine in Win2000/XP, but I need it in Win98/ME too.
'NetShareGetInf o()' in linked to 'netapi32.lib' in NT/XP and 'svrapi.lib' in
98/ME, 'NetApiBufferFr ee()' is linked to 'netapi32.lib'.

My app compiles fine in Win98, but it searches 'NetShareGetInf o()' in
netapi32.dll and my app does not run.

Please, some advice to solve this.
Thansk in advance.
