RE: [WinPcap-users] retreiving adapter info

[David Barnish]

Try this...    unsigned int i;  int nRC;  WCHAR AdapterName[8192]; // string that contains a list of the network adapters  WCHAR *temp, *temp1;  char  AdapterList[MAX_NUM_ADAPTERS][1024];  char  TempAsciiString[8192];  unsigned int AdapterNum = 0;  ULONG  AdapterLength;    memset(AdapterList, 0, (MAX_NUM_ADAPTERS * 1024) );  memset(AdapterName, 0, sizeof(AdapterName) );  memset(TempAsciiString, 0, sizeof(TempAsciiString) );    // obtain the name of the adapters installed on this machine  AdapterLength=4096;    i=0;  if(PacketGetAdapterNames((char *)AdapterName, &AdapterLength) == FALSE)  {   printf("Error: Unable to retrieve the list of the adapters!\n");   exit(-1);  }    // The string returned is a multi-byte string on WinNT or later versions of Windows.  temp = AdapterName;  temp1 = AdapterName;  while (true)  {   if( (*temp1 == '\0') && (*(temp1+1) == '\0') )   {    // We're at the end of the string.    break;   }   if (*(temp1+1) == '\0')   {    // Temp1 points to the end of the string.    nRC = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, temp, -1, TempAsciiString,     sizeof(TempAsciiString), 0, 0);    if (nRC > 0)    {     memcpy(AdapterList[i], TempAsciiString, (temp1 - temp)+1);    }    temp = temp1+2;    i++;   }   temp1++;  }     AdapterNum=i;  for (i = 0; i < AdapterNum; i++)  {   printf("%d- %s\n", i+1, AdapterList[i]);  }  printf("\n"); David Barnish     -----Original Message----- From: Annie Deroo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2003 8:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WinPcap-users] retreiving adapter info How can I get a list of my adapters? I know the function PacketGetAdapterNames gives me all the adapters on my computers, but how do I show information about them in a Visual C++ program? Functions like wprintf(L"\n%d- %s\n",i+1,AdapterList[i]) (output = 7) and printf("\n%d- %s\n",i+1,AdapterList[i]) (error when running) can't be used to put a CString in a list or in a messagebox! The compiler says: left of '.SymbolicLink' must have class/struct/union type, when I use the SymbolicLink part of the adapters. In my program I want to show info about the available adapters in a list and let the user select one. I'm sure this is done before in Visual C++, so if somebody knows how I could do that or knows where I can find code that does that, let me know. Thank U
