A Class for Getting NetCard Adapter Information

• Download demo project - 19.5 Kb

Introduction

I provide you a class CxNetCardInfo which can be used to get the local machine Netcard Adapter information such as IP address, MAC, DHCP, Subnet mask, WINS etc. For more detailed information, let's go to the next section.

How to use CxNetCardInfo

Usage of CxNetCardInfo is easy! For example:

void CNetCardInfoDlg::OnButtonGetinfo() 
{
  // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
  CString tmp( _T("") );

  CxNetCardInfo NCI;

  tmp += _T("NetCard type:\t") + NCI.GetNetCardType() + _T("\r\n");
  tmp += _T("IP Address:\t") + NCI.GetNetCardIPAddress() + _T("\r\n" );
  tmp += _T("Subnet Mask:\t") + NCI.GetNetCardSubnetMask() + _T("\r\n");
  tmp += _T("Gateway:\t") + NCI.GetNetCardGateWay() + _T("\r\n");
  tmp += _T("DHCP Server:\t") + NCI.GetDHCPServer() + _T("\r\n");
  tmp += _T("MAC Address:\t") + NCI.GetNetCardMACAddress() + _T("\r\n");
  tmp += _T("Device name:\t") + NCI.GetNetCardDeviceName() + _T("\r\n");
  tmp += _T("Wins Server:\t") + NCI.GetNetCardWINS() + ("\r\n");
  tmp += NCI.GetErrorMsg() + _T("\r\n");

  CEdit *pEdit = (CEdit *)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT_INFO);
  pEdit->SetWindowText(tmp);
}

Notes

The CxNetCardInfo is not strong enough for serious usage, but someone can modify it and make it better hopefully!
