Networked drives. They're an administrative nightmare. In fact, the average user changes his networked drive letters more often than his underwear. But you can solve this problem of binding an application to a particular drive by using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path. This still references a network area, but doesn’t tie it to any one drive letter. And you can retrieve and check the UNC of a particular path in code using this neat little function. To use it, simply call GetUNCPath, passing it your drive letter along with a pre-declared empty string. If a problem occurs, the relevant number is passed back with the function. These can be matched with the possible return code constants. However if everything goes swimmingly, the function returns a zero (a constant value of NO_ERROR) and places the UNC path into the ByRef-passed variable. This code works by making a call to the WNetGetConnection function in MPR.DLL. It's essentially a neat wrapper for a regular API call.

Amazing new control! Tired of VB's common controls, check out this textbox! When it receives focus, the blinds open and when focus is lost, the blinds close again, creating a dazzling effect on YOUR FORM! PS - Dont worry, YOU CAN CHANGE THE COLORS OF THE BLINDS TO A COLOR OTHER THAN PALE RAINBOW COLORS :) I did that for effect.
This will show you how to make groups in your listboxes with this simple control. Since it is not yet 100% functional (it's about 95%), there is a lot of roomfor personal customization. This control is yours for the taking. Download it and add / remove any features you want.
