Is there a way of determining a UNC path?

The Utility("CHOOSEDIR",….) or RTI_OS_DIRECTORY('CHOOSE',….) returns the mapped network drive. Unfortunately most of the clients do NOT have network discovery enabled (security issue) and therefore do not have access to all network functionality.

I have a dropdown to select a folder and would like the result to display the UNC path instead on the mapped drive.

Any advice would be grateful.

There is a windows api function named WNETGET_UNIVERSALNAME which is supposed to do that.

See snippet below.

Function test_rti_WNetGetUniversalName(path)

/*

* Make sure that yuyou have the following function protype record In sysprocs as DLL_MPR

* Line 1 is MPR

MPR



ULONG STDCALL WNetGetUniversalNameA( LPASTR, ULONG, LPBINARY, LPULONG ) as winAPI_WNetGetUniversalNameA

ULONG STDCALL WNetGetUniversalNameW( LPWSTR, ULONG, LPBINARY, LPULONG ) as winAPI_WNetGetUniversalNameW

ULONG STDCALL WNetGetUniversalNameW( LPWSTR, ULONG, LPBINARY, LPULONG ) as  winAPI_WNetGetUniversalName



* from sysprog, run declare_FCNS  DLL_MPR





*/





If Assigned(path) Else path = ''

Declare Function rti_WNetGetUniversalName

ans = rti_WNetGetUniversalName(path)

Return ans
