embarisingly easly i think

What is the vb constant for the current user name?

Is there 1, i cant fid a reference to it?

thanks in advance.

VB Code:

'This project needs a timer
Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetTempPath Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTempPathA" (ByVal nBufferLength As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long
Private Declare Function IsIconic Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    'KPD-Team 1998
    'URL: [url]http://www.allapi.net/[/url]
    'E-Mail: [email][email protected][/email]
    Timer1.Interval = 100
    Timer1.Enabled = True
    Dim strTemp As String, strUserName As String
    'Create a buffer
    strTemp = String(100, Chr$(0))
    'Get the temporary path
    GetTempPath 100, strTemp
    'strip the rest of the buffer
    strTemp = Left$(strTemp, InStr(strTemp, Chr$(0)) - 1)
 
    'Create a buffer
    strUserName = String(100, Chr$(0))
    'Get the username
    GetUserName strUserName, 100
    'strip the rest of the buffer
    strUserName = Left$(strUserName, InStr(strUserName, Chr$(0)) - 1)
 
    'Show the temppath and the username
    MsgBox "Hello " + strUserName + Chr$(13) + "The temp. path is " + strTemp
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    Dim Boo As Boolean
    'Check if this form is minimized
    Boo = IsIconic(Me.hwnd)
    'Update the form's caption
    Me.Caption = "Form minimized: " + Str$(Boo)
End Sub

Regards...

Thanks, look

cheers

With all due respect: zuperman, shouldn't such a long code example be supplied as a ZIP file for download? I mean, you code listing wasn't exactly short.

With all due respect:HaxSoft, i thought this way it would be easier to copy/paste, but im sorry for this long code...

zuperman, HaxSoft: All Ping asked for was "What is the vb constant for the current user name?", i.e, who is currently logged into this machine.

The routines the two of you have posted are very cool, and give a lot of neat information, but, in my humble opinion, exceed the original request.

You are right, only that I was enthusiastic with the examples of API-GUIDE and wanted to share them with all... sorry again
