Get mapped network drives on local machine

Hi all,

I'm looking for a function to convert an absolute path to UNC and UNC to an absolute path ( if possible ).

Example:

John types "X:\Folder\File.ext" on his computer.

A function converts it to "\\Server\Share\Folder\File.ext" and saves it in a central place.

Jane accesses the information on her workstation. She has "\\Server\Share" mapped to L:

A function converts it to "L:\Folder\File.ext".

( Obviously it's not that easy, things can fail, special considerations need to be taken into account, maybe drives aren't mapped that way at all etc )


I already got the "AbsoluteToUNC" conversion done. Works like a charm. However, I'm still looking for a function that can list all mapped drives and targets of that mappings for the local workstation.

Anyone got any ideas ? I already looked through all the Netx functions and examples on MSDN, but all of them only work the other way, listing shares of the local machine.

Are you looking for something like the following?

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
        DWORD        dwDrives;
        UINT        uDriveType;
        int        iDrive;
        char        szDrive[_MAX_DRIVE + 1];

        dwDrives = GetLogicalDrives();

        printf("The following is a list of network drives\n");
        for(iDrive = 0; iDrive < 26; iDrive++)
        {
                sprintf(szDrive,"%c:\\",iDrive + 'A');

                uDriveType = GetDriveType(szDrive);   
               
                if(uDriveType == DRIVE_REMOTE)
                {
                        printf("%s\n",szDrive);
                }
        }
        return 0;
}

Have you had a look at the WNet APIs?

Especially WNetEnumResource.
