Title: Finding all computers on the network
Question: Call FindComputers, which returns the WinAPI error code (if any). The function will fill the stringlist Computers with the computer names.
It is developed with Delphi 5, but should be backward-compatible.
Answer:
unit FindComp;
interface
uses
Windows, Classes;
function FindComputers: DWORD;
var
Computers: TStringList;
implementation
uses
SysUtils;
const
MaxEntries = 250;
function FindComputers: DWORD;
var
EnumWorkGroupHandle, EnumComputerHandle: THandle;
EnumError: DWORD;
Network: TNetResource;
WorkGroupEntries, ComputerEntries: DWORD;
EnumWorkGroupBuffer, EnumComputerBuffer: array[1..MaxEntries] of TNetResource;
EnumBufferLength: DWORD;
I, J: DWORD;
begin
Computers.Clear;
FillChar(Network, SizeOf(Network), 0);
with Network do
begin
dwScope := RESOURCE_GLOBALNET;
dwType := RESOURCETYPE_ANY;
dwUsage := RESOURCEUSAGE_CONTAINER;
end;
EnumError := WNetOpenEnum(RESOURCE_GLOBALNET, RESOURCETYPE_ANY, 0, @Network, EnumWorkGroupHandle);
if EnumError = NO_ERROR then
begin
WorkGroupEntries := MaxEntries;
EnumBufferLength := SizeOf(EnumWorkGroupBuffer);
EnumError := WNetEnumResource(EnumWorkGroupHandle, WorkGroupEntries, @EnumWorkGroupBuffer, EnumBufferLength);
if EnumError = NO_ERROR then
begin
for I := 1 to WorkGroupEntries do
begin
EnumError := WNetOpenEnum(RESOURCE_GLOBALNET, RESOURCETYPE_ANY, 0, @EnumWorkGroupBuffer[I], EnumComputerHandle);
if EnumError = NO_ERROR then
begin
ComputerEntries := MaxEntries;
EnumBufferLength := SizeOf(EnumComputerBuffer);
EnumError := WNetEnumResource(EnumComputerHandle, ComputerEntries, @EnumComputerBuffer, EnumBufferLength);
if EnumError = NO_ERROR then
for J := 1 to ComputerEntries do
Computers.Add(Copy(EnumComputerBuffer[J].lpRemoteName, 3, Length(EnumComputerBuffer[J].lpRemoteName) - 2));
WNetCloseEnum(EnumComputerHandle);
end;
end;
end;
WNetCloseEnum(EnumWorkGroupHandle);
end;
if EnumError = ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS then
EnumError := NO_ERROR;
Result := EnumError;
end;
initialization
Computers := TStringList.Create;
finalization
Computers.Free;
end.
