Hi,

I want to get and set SSID programmatically. Is it

Could you give me some directions on that?

Thanks

Thanks Tarun,
All the information in the MSDN also refers to CE.net
version only.
This sample should be available in the Windows XP DDK,
or Windows Server 2003 DDK, is that right?
I will try to install that and check it again.
Regards
Vivek Chopra

It's definitely possible via set OID_802_11_SSID.

Feasible is an interesting question though. It seems that half the access
points out there are still set to default values (i.e. linksys) So how do
you know which one to connect to? Of course the OID_802_11_BSSID uses unique
mac addresses which solve the problem, but I have only found one wifi
adapter that supports this 'mandatory' NDIS function, even XP logo certified
cards(!!)

By the way, does anyone know how the '802.11 Adapter Guidelines for XP'
apply to logo functionality? Should I assume it gets the sticker if allows
for generic operations such as hot disconnects, etc.?

Thanks Tarun,

I tried that and I am able to get the SSID but not able
to set it as yet. Firstly, I need to stop the service
(Wireless zero configuration) becos that sets the SSID
based on the signal strength and if I use API then I wont
be allowed since the service hogs the resources. So I
stopped the service but then again I am unable to set it
as yet :(

you can use WZC API for setting.

Do not use the WZCAPIs in Windows XP. This is not supported and any
solution that relies on that is likely to break in the future.
