Kernel32 GetComputerName

New comment
 

Hi all,

Been a while since I have done this sort of coding, so I'm a little rusty...


I need to get the computername and am trying:


#import "kernel32.dll"
string GetComputerNameA(string lpBuffer, int nSize);
#import

int start()
{
   string name;
      
   GetComputerNameA(name,32767);
   
   Print(name);
   return(0);
}  


but of course it doesn't work! I am on a borrowed computer and don't have access to any of my own notes, links etc.


Can anyone please help? I am not even too sure I have the GetComputerNameA definition correct?

 
Never mind... forgot about MT4 and "strings" Thanks for reading though.
 

Perhaps you should read the manual.

Strings are wide since Build 600+ (2014)

Buffer and size ares an output, passed by reference.
