Thread: LAN module: How to ... dissipate a vaporware around ThinBASIC

    LAN module: How to ... dissipate a vaporware around ThinBASIC

    To best support our "professional user", we started the ThinBASIC_LAN module.
    The attempt of the new module is give a frendly approach to first discovery the network and then manage it.

    It's build from the scratch so for now we have only the following function:
    • LAN_GetUserInformation()
    • LAN_GetMachineInformation()
    • LAN_GetGroupInformation()
    • LAN_GetDCName()
    • LAN_GetUseInformation()
    • UPDATED 16/09/2007
    • LAN_GetUniversalName()
    • LAN_GetConnectionName()
    • LAN_GetRemainingName()
    • UPDATED 17/09/2007
    • LAN_GetUser()
    • UPDATED 18/09/2007
    • LAN_ConnectDialog()
    • LAN_DisconnectDialog()
    • UPDATED 20/09/2007
    • LAN_GetLastExtendedError()
    • LAN_AddConnection()
    • LAN_CancelConnection()


    Both the five functions required at least Windows NT Workstation and off course a network available.
    If you wish to use the function LAN_GetUseInformation() in order to gathering USE information from a remote computer, then the remote computer must support remote RPC calls using the legacy Remote Access Protocol mechanism.
    Note that the LAN_GetUseInformation() function lists all current connections between the local computer and resources on remote servers (must be at least one active) .

    Any comments and/or suggestions will be very appreciated.

    Regards,
    Roberto

    Hi Roberto,

    this seems like a good set.
    I have not real LAN at home, just few PCs connected to internet via router ( but PCs cannot see each other ).
    Even in such a situation your module is able to give some interesting information, which is nice ( mostly the LAN_QueryInformation.tbasic, others return empty info ).


    Thanks,
    Petr

    I don't have my network setup Roberto, but will report back when it is up.

    As something totally not relating to anything here, but something I think of when I see Roberto...
    There was a really funny movie with Adam Sandler, The Waterboy. He is from a poor cajun family in the deep south.
    His Dad leaves his Mom and goes to New Orleans to make money for the family. He first writes home and signs the letter Bob.
    Then a few letters later he uses, Robert and then finally he writes to say he won't be coming home and wishes them a good life and signs it Roberto.
    You can tell he fit into New Orleans and went upscale from his roots and it was very funny. I hope the humor of this scene comes across in writing
    I thought it was a clever way of showing how people can change when they move somewhere else, some good writing to come up with that.

    I know, a football team water boy, really a funny movie.

    Added to the ThinBASIC lan module the following functions:

    • LAN_GetUniversalName()
    • LAN_GetConnectionName()
    • LAN_GetRemainingName()


    Primary scope of these functions is retrive the full UNC name of file on local or remote share, retrive only the share or the remaining name on the share.
    Please note that both functions are available on Windows 98 so in the upgraded zip file you'll find also the thinBasic_LAN9x.dll.
    If you wish to work in Windows 98 rename it to thinBasic_LAN.dll before putting into the \thinBasic\Lib folder.

    Ciao,

    Added LAN_GetUser() function that retrieves the current default user name, or the user name used to establish a network connection.
    The function is available from Windows 98, the above ThinBasic_LAN.zip file is updated.

    LAN_GetUser will return the user name used to mount a LAN resource.

    Imagine you have shared a resource on \\Server, so something like \\Server\ShareName
    Imagine a client has mounted and mapped \\Server\ShareName as drive S:
    LAN_GetUser("S:") will return the user associated with that mounted resource.

    If you do not have any mounted S: drive, than LAN_GetUser will not show you anything.
