Local Machine Name 2

[xartas]

Hi, i'm writing a program that needs the local machine name of the machine where it's running. Which function should i use to read this parameter?

Best regards.

Try
Wnetgetconnection, Wnetgetuser.

or one of the others in this group.

The local name is held in the lplocalname property of the netresource structure.

Delphi Help will jump to the relevent API stuff if you do an F1 on wnetgetuser

You can also just look it up in the registery.
Everyone has a right to my opinion.

Try the API function GetComputerName

You first need to Create 2 Variables

NameSize : DWORD;
ComputerName : PChar;

Then use this code to read the name and place it in a label

ComputerName := #0;
NameSize := MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1;
try
GetMem(ComputerName, NameSize);
Windows.GetComputerName(ComputerName, NameSize);
Label1.Caption:= StrPas(ComputerName);
finally
FreeMem(ComputerName);
end;

You could create another Variable (String this time) and then assign the value to that instead of the Label Caption.
