The WlanQueryAutoConfigParameter function queries for the parameters of the auto configuration service.

Syntax

DWORD WlanQueryAutoConfigParameter(
  [in]            HANDLE                  hClientHandle,
  [in]            WLAN_AUTOCONF_OPCODE    OpCode,
                  PVOID                   pReserved,
  [out]           PDWORD                  pdwDataSize,
  [out]           PVOID                   *ppData,
  [out, optional] PWLAN_OPCODE_VALUE_TYPE pWlanOpcodeValueType
);

Parameters

[in] hClientHandle

The client's session handle, obtained by a previous call to the WlanOpenHandle function.

[in] OpCode

A value that specifies the configuration parameter to be queried.

Value	Meaning
wlan_autoconf_opcode_show_denied_networks	When set, the ppData parameter will contain a BOOL value indicating whether user and group policy-denied networks will be included in the available networks list. If the function returns ERROR_SUCCESS and ppData points to TRUE, then user and group policy-denied networks will be included in the available networks list; if FALSE, user and group policy-denied networks will not be included in the available networks list.
wlan_autoconf_opcode_power_setting	When set, the ppData parameter will contain a WLAN_POWER_SETTING value specifying the power settings.
wlan_autoconf_opcode_only_use_gp_profiles_for_allowed_networks	When set, the ppData parameter will contain a BOOL value indicating whether profiles not created by group policy can be used to connect to an allowed network with a matching group policy profile. If the function returns ERROR_SUCCESS and ppData points to TRUE, then only profiles created by group policy can be used; if FALSE, any profile can be used.
wlan_autoconf_opcode_allow_explicit_creds	When set, the ppData parameter will contain a BOOL value indicating whether the current wireless interface has shared user credentials allowed. If the function returns ERROR_SUCCESS and ppData points to TRUE, then the current wireless interface has shared user credentials allowed; if FALSE, the current wireless interface does not allow shared user credentials.
wlan_autoconf_opcode_block_period	When set, the ppData parameter will contain a DWORD value that indicates the blocked period setting for the current wireless interface. The blocked period is the amount of time, in seconds, for which automatic connection to a wireless network will not be attempted after a previous failure.
wlan_autoconf_opcode_allow_virtual_station_extensibility	When set, the ppData parameter will contain a BOOL value indicating whether extensibility on a virtual station is allowed. By default, extensibility on a virtual station is allowed. The value for this opcode is persisted across restarts. If the function returns ERROR_SUCCESS and ppData points to TRUE, then extensibility on a virtual station is allowed; if FALSE, extensibility on a virtual station is not allowed.

pReserved

Reserved for future use. Must be set to NULL.

[out] pdwDataSize

Specifies the size of the ppData parameter, in bytes.

[out] ppData

Pointer to the memory that contains the queried value for the parameter specified in OpCode.

Note If OpCode is set to wlan_autoconf_opcode_show_denied_networks, then the pointer referenced by ppData may point to an integer value. If the pointer referenced by ppData points to 0, then the integer value should be converted to the boolean value FALSE. If the pointer referenced by ppData points to a nonzero integer, then the integer value should be converted to the boolean value TRUE.

[out, optional] pWlanOpcodeValueType

A WLAN_OPCODE_VALUE_TYPE value.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.

If the function fails, the return value may be one of the following return codes.

Return code	Description
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED	The caller does not have sufficient permissions to get configuration parameters. When called with OpCode set to wlan_autoconf_opcode_show_denied_networks, WlanQueryAutoConfigParameter retrieves the discretionary access control list (DACL) stored with the wlan_secure_show_denied object. If the DACL does not contain an access control entry (ACE) that grants WLAN_READ_ACCESS permission to the access token of the calling thread, then WlanQueryAutoConfigParameter returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	hClientHandle is NULL or invalid, pReserved is not NULL, ppData is NULL, or pdwDataSize is NULL.
ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE	The handle hClientHandle was not found in the handle table.
ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED	This function was called from an unsupported platform. This value will be returned if this function was called from a Windows XP with SP3 or Wireless LAN API for Windows XP with SP2 client.
RPC_STATUS	Various error codes.

Remarks

The WlanQueryAutoConfigParameter function queries for the parameters used by Auto Configuration Module (ACM), the wireless configuration component supported on Windows Vista and later.
