WinNet UDF - AddConnection Functions - Help File Issue

Reported by: MrMitchell Owned by: guinness
Milestone: 3.3.9.5 Component: Documentation
Version: 3.3.9.4 Severity: None
Keywords: WinNet Cc:

Description

In the Help File, for the _WinNet_AddConnection, _WinNet_AddConnection2, _WinNet_AddConnection3 functions, for $sLocalName parameter the doc says "If 0, a connection to the network...without redirecting the local device."

I cannot get the function to work in this manner by passing a 0 as the $sLocalName parameter. The only way to get it to work is to pass either an empty string or the Null keyword. In 3.3.9.4 beta either works fine. In 3.3.8.1 current production, passing only an empty string works since Null keyword isn't supported yet. Either way both Help Files say pass a 0, so I believe the Help File should be updated - replacing 0 with Null and/or empty string.

This is very similar to issue #2132.

Here's code that doesn't work:
$sServer = '
server\'
$sShare = 'C$'
$sUsername = 'domain\user'
$sPassword = 'password'
$sServerShare = $sServer & $sShare
$result = _WinNet_AddConnection2(0, $sServerShare, $sUsername, $sPassword, 1)
If $result Then

ShellExecute("Connection created to ", $sServerShare)

Else

ConsoleWrite("Unable to connect to " & $sServerShare & @CRLF)

EndIf
