Very Urgent - Get User ID

Hi ...

Does anyone know how to get User ID
from NT/Novell using API ?
Pls let me know.

Thank you
Keiko

This is what I did


Private Sub GetLoginName()
Dim lRetVal as Long 'result of the API functions
Dim hKey as Long 'Handle of opened key
Dim vValue As Variant 'Setting of queried value
Dim vValue2 As Variant 'Setting of queried value

lRetVal = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_Local_Machine, "network\logon", 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, hKey)

lRetVal = QueryValEx(hKey, "username", vValue)

LoginName = vValue 'vValue is whatever is at the registry setting

lRetVal2 = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_Local_Machine, "network\uid", 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, hKey)

lRetVal2 = QueryValEx(hKey, "userid", vValue)

Userid = vValue2 'vValue is whatever is at the registry setting

RegCloseKey(hKey)

Private Sub cmdExit_Click()
End
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim lRetValue as Long 'result of the api functions
Dim hKey as Long ' handle of the opened key
Dim vValue as vatiant 'Setting of queried value

lRetVal = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_Local_Machine, "network\logon", 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, hKey)

lRetVal = QueryValEx(hKey, "username", vValue)

LoginName = vValue 'vValue is whatever is at the registry setting

lRetVal2 = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_Local_Machine, "network\uid", 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, hKey)

lRetVal2 = QueryValEx(hKey, "userid", vValue)

Userid = vValue2 'vValue is whatever is at the registry setting

RegCloseKey(hKey)

Label1.caption = "Your UserName is; " & loginName & "" _
+ Char$(13) + "Welcome " & LoginName & "" _
+ Char$(13) + "Date " & Date & "" _
+ Char$(13) + "Time " & Time & ""

MsgBox "" & F_GetUSerName & ""

Private Function F_GetUserName() as String
Dim strUser as String

strUser = Space(150)

If GetUserName(strUser, 150) = o then
F_GetUserName = ""
Exit Function
End if

'Take out the null value
strUser = mid(Trim(strUser), 1, Len(Trim(strUser))-1)

F_GetUserName = strUser

End Function

hope this works for you. Good Luck

John

Thanks

Oh my god! You don't need to do all that. Just use the GetUserName API!

Code:

---

Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
