RE: How to access password protected shared network drives while trave

Hi,

You should post such question in win32.programmer.networks(the best) or at
least in platformsdk.shell (not that good). You'd get a more exact help
rather than here (vc.language) or vc.mfc; vc.ide_general..

I've cross-posted your question [and my incomplete answer] to
win32.programmer.networks .


There is no standard way to do a login neither for tracking double-clicks.
As far as you can do is trap the BFFM_SELCHANGED message in
BrowseForFolderCallbackProc, this will do:

CALLBACK CCfgLocationAndConnection::BrowseCallbackProc( HWND hwnd, UINT
uMsg, LPARAM lParam, LPARAM lpData)
{
    if ( uMsg == BFFM_INITIALIZED || uMsg == BFFM_SELCHANGED )
    {
        TCHAR newPath[MAX_PATH+1];
        SHGetPathFromIDList( (LPITEMIDLIST)lParam, newPath );
        // If the selection is a network share (shared _folder_),
        // newPath points to it O.K.
        // However, if this is a top level network PC, newPath == "" :(
        if (*newPath == 0)
        {
            // Let's work this around:
            CComPtr<IShellFolder> pSHFolder;
            SHGetDesktopFolder(&pSHFolder);
            STRRET strret;
            pSHFolder->GetDisplayNameOf((LPITEMIDLIST)lParam, SHGDN_FORPARSING,
&strret);
            // It is the only known way [by me] to get the name of a network PC
            // as you cannot pass it by (list its shares) -- the password dialog
            // would popup in any case in Windows Explorer (but, remember, not in
            // SHBrowseForFolder). I.e., not having a connection to that PC,
            // will not further expand its shares.
            if (strret.uType == STRRET_WSTR)

                // A check for prefixing double back-slash, as you may have selected
                // a domain/workgroup name, -- these entries have to be filtered out
                if (strret.pOleStr[0] == '\\' &&
                        strret.pOleStr[1] == '\\')

                    _tcscpy(newPath, CW2T(strret.pOleStr));

        }

        if (*newPath)
        {
            NETRESOURCE nres;
            ZeroMemory(&nres, sizeof(NETRESOURCE));
            nres.dwType = RESOURCETYPE_DISK;

            nres.lpRemoteName = newPath;

            TCHAR *dom = _tcschr(nres.lpRemoteName+2, '\\');
            if (dom) *dom = 0;
            DWORD dwRet = WNetAddConnection3(NULL, &nres, NULL, NULL, NULL);
            if (dwRet != ERROR_SUCCESS)
            {
                if (dwRet == ERROR_INVALID_PASSWORD || dwRet == ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE)
                {
                    // DISPLAY LOGIN DIALOG and try to re-WNetAddConnection3 with
                    // user/pass known. It would be best to display a standard
                    // windows login dialog, only I do not know how --
                    // maybe someone in this group can answer? Thanks here, too! :)
                }
                else
                {
                    TCHAR szErr[MAX_PATH+1];
                    TCHAR szName[MAX_PATH+1];
                    // This returns empties for other errors (even for ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE
                    // -- I don't know why)
                    WNetGetLastError(&dwRet, szErr, MAX_PATH, szName, MAX_PATH);
                    MessageBox(hwnd, szErr, szName, MB_ICONHAND);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}


Same here ;) for further elaboration of the issue by the guys out here :)
