WRAPI.dll compiling error "nuiouser.h" ???

[diwwang]

Dear,

I have a question about WRAPI. I would like to provide the WRAPI again
in Visual Studio.Net. After the introduction from Web Page
"sysnet.ucsd.edu/pawn/wrapi" I have installed Windows Xp service
package 1 DDK. But after compiling Visual studio .Net always shows me
the error message:

Fatal error C1083: Include file cannot be opened: ' nuiouser.h ': NO
look for file or directory.

Now I do not know what I should do. By which way could I procure this
head file ' nuiouser.h '.

Thank you in advance for your effort?

It's called ndisprot now.

As an aside, if you want my honest opinion, I'd suggest you not use WRAPI;
at least not as is. It depends on the outdated nuiouser driver and uses an
older NDIS_802_11_BSSID_LIST structure for retrieving available access
points. If you're going to use it, you're going to have to modify the
library, which may be less work than some alternatives. WMI is a nice
solution, but as I've found, I can't reliably get data for available access
points as it too uses the older NDIS_802_11_BSSID_LIST structure.

Currently I'm using WMI to retreive wireless data, but I've run into the
hurdle of the associated access points returning garbage and am currently
awaiting a response to my question in this ng as well.

hello Andrew

thank you for your detailed response!

But I would not only like to test the Wireless DATA, but also write
(e.g. SSID amend etc..) Can it lead with WMI to success?

best thanks!

Many greetings

If you're just reading properties WMI may be sufficient, for setting
properties I think you may find NDIS IOCTLs to be the only reliable method.
