I use the following function to get the name of the connected WiFi connection. The function is called repeatedly every 4 seconds to monitor connection changes. But after a while, the function no longer works as before, and fails returning false.
bool GetConnectedConnectionsName(wstring connection_names[50], int& number)
{
HANDLE h_client = NULL;
DWORD dwMaxClient = 2;
DWORD dwCurVersion = 0;
DWORD result = 0;
DWORD dwRetVal = 0;
int iRet = 0;
WCHAR GuidString[39] = { 0 };
unsigned int i, j, k;
PWLAN_INTERFACE_INFO_LIST p_if_list = NULL;
PWLAN_INTERFACE_INFO p_if_info = NULL;
PWLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK_LIST p_bss_list = NULL;
PWLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK p_bss_entry = NULL;
int iRSSI = 0;
result = WlanOpenHandle(dwMaxClient, NULL, &dwCurVersion, &h_client);
if (result != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
if (p_bss_list != NULL)
WlanFreeMemory(p_bss_list);
if (p_if_list != NULL)
WlanFreeMemory(p_if_list);
return false;
}
result = WlanEnumInterfaces(h_client, NULL, &p_if_list);
if (result != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
if (p_bss_list != NULL)
WlanFreeMemory(p_bss_list);
if (p_if_list != NULL)
WlanFreeMemory(p_if_list);
return false;
}
for (i = 0; i < (int)p_if_list->dwNumberOfItems; i++)
{
p_if_info = (WLAN_INTERFACE_INFO*)&p_if_list->InterfaceInfo[i];
result = WlanGetAvailableNetworkList(h_client,
&p_if_info->InterfaceGuid,
0,
NULL,
&p_bss_list);
if (result != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
if (p_bss_list != NULL)
WlanFreeMemory(p_bss_list);
if (p_if_list != NULL)
WlanFreeMemory(p_if_list);
return false;
}
else
{
number = 0;
for (j = 0; j < p_bss_list->dwNumberOfItems; j++)
{
p_bss_entry = (WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK*)&p_bss_list->Network[j];
if (p_bss_entry->dwFlags && (p_bss_entry->dwFlags & WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK_CONNECTED))
{
connection_names[number] = wstring(p_bss_entry->strProfileName);
number++;
}
}
}
}
if (p_bss_list != NULL)
WlanFreeMemory(p_bss_list);
if (p_if_list != NULL)
WlanFreeMemory(p_if_list);
return true;
}
What's wrong, and how can I solve the problem?
