Adhoc network created in windows 8.1 gets listed as an infrastructure network

Hi All,
I have created a adhoc network on a windows 8.1 (home ) tab following the below steps ,
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow
netsh wlan set hostednetwork ssid=tests key=123456789
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
hosted network started but to my surprise it got listed in all the other windows 8.1 tabs (which was not supposed to be listed),
I ran netsh wlan show networks command only to see that the new adhoc network <tests> is being detected by all other tabs as Infrastructure network
Did I miss anything while creating the network ? cuz.. I was expecting it to be listed as "adhoc" network ?
Other part of the deal is when I try to connect another 8.1 tab (home edition) by following the below steps
Click Open Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Networks >
Add.
Click "Manually create a network profile". (This may look silly but we really are going to create an infrastructure network now.)
Enter the network name (SSID), security type, encryption type (if any) and the key that you noted in step 1.
Uncheck both checkboxes ("Start this connection automatically" and "Connect even if the network is not broadcasting".) [Note that you cannot have the connection start automatically. If you try to have it checked, step 10 will fail. A
different way to start it automatically during system boot is described below.]
Click Next > Close. Your connection must appear in the list with the icon suggesting infrastructure (two big screens connected to a tube). Don't worry about it.
Click Start, type in "cmd" in the search box, press Enter.
In the Command Prompt, type in "netsh wlan set profileparameter name=NetworkName
ConnectionType=IBSS", exactly as shown, without quotes, except you must substitute
NetworkName with the SSID (network name) of your ad-hoc network
connection fails (if I change the connection type back to ESS , it gets successfully connected
Why is this ? I am struggling with this from yesterday..

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that your all Windows 8.1 computers connect to network via normal wireless network.
Did you have wireless router for them?
Please delete this adhoc, then check if these computer could connect to network.
If no, follow below guide to create and connect to adhoc :

For pop up window
IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo)wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("PopWin");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createModalWindow(windowInfo);
window.setWindowPosition (300, 150);
window.show();
wdContext.currentYourNodeElement().setPopupAttribute(window);
For closing window code
IWDWindow window = wdContext.currentYourNodeElement().getPopupAttribute();

Is it possible to create the adhoc network and get it work with WLAN APIs (WlanConnect) instead of netsh commands...?

Hi All,
I am facing issues in creating adhoc network in Windows 8.1. After searching in internet, I found that adhoc works with
netsh commands.
1. I have tried neths commands and able to get it work on windows 8.1,
but I want to do it through the WLAN APIs ie. WlanConnect ,
2. I am able to initiate the adhoc network(on Windows 8.1) by using WlanConnect API and other device are also able to connect to the Windows8.1 initiated adhoc network but the DHCP is not working.
-> clients are not able to get the IP address.
Is it possible to create the adhoc network and get it work with WLAN APIs (WlanConnect) instead of netsh commands...?
Thanks
akhil

Hi,
Did you mean to write a program to implement that creating adhoc via UI? This should be development issue.
But this is Windows 8.1 client forum and there is no professional on develop.
To help you better, I suggest you submit a new case on MSDN forum to help to check your code as they will be more professional on your issue:
This is the MSDN forum link.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Create an AdHoc network on boot

Seems like a relatively trivial thing to do, but Im having issues getting this up with either systemctl service or netcfg.
netcfg fails because it's trying to connect to a network, but in actuality, it just created the AdHoc network.
DEBUG: wpa_cli -i wlan0 -p /run/wpa_supplicant terminate
> WPA Authentication/Association Failed
Here is the netcfg config
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='AdHoc IPv4LL network'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
ESSID='my_ssid'
IP='no'
ADHOC=1
WPA_DRIVER=wext
IPCFG=('route add -net 169.254.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 dev wlan0 metric 99' 'route add default dev wlan0 metric 99')
POST_UP='avahi-autoipd -D wlan0'
When trying to use a service file, it fails trying to bring up the interface. I read in the wiki that it's not recommended to bring up an interface in systemd.
Process: 95 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ip link set wlan0 up (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Ideas on how to get create a AdHoc network with netcfg? What am I doing wrong?

Thx funrush, so in other words, I'm fracked...6 pages of the same problem but no resolution...oh well. It must be a hardware related issue however, as my imac on the same level of Snow works fine (well, it has other issues) and on that box I can create adhoc networks till the cows come home...

Create an adhoc network

Creating adhoc network?

Since I am having such problems syncing through my router, would it be possible to directly connect my MacPro and AppleTV via wireless by creating some sort of adhoc network?
If any can tell me exactly how to do this I'd greatly appreciate it.
(Yes, I have a 802.11n airport card in the MacPro).

philsmy,
You may create a wireless network for the Apple TV to join by enabling Internet Sharing over Airport if the Mac Pro is connected to the Internet some other way such as via ethernet. Information on Internet Sharing can be found in knowledge base article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh336.html

Can't print with adhoc network for HP 7780 all-in-one

Operating system is Windows Vista 32 bit.
Downloaded full driver software from HP site and installed it OK with wired connection to printer. All works fine in this mode.
Now I want to do wireless printing via an adhoc network called MYNetwork that I generated on my computer with WEP security. The printer detected the network, I put in the 5-digit password on the printer control panel, and the network was then connected. It shows connected on my computer also.
So now I am connected to the adhoc network, what are the next steps to make the printer show "online" and to actually print wirelessly? I really feel dumb asking this, as the answer must be simple. PLEASE Help!!
Note that I have completely disconnected the wired connection from the printer to the computer.
Thanks,
Garry

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

How to create popup window with radio buttons and a input field

Hi Guys,
Can somebody give some directions to create a stand alone program to create a window popup with 2 radio button and an input field for getting text value. I need to update the text value in a custom table.
I will call this stand alone program from an user exit.
Please give me the guidance how go about it or please give any tutorial you have.
Thanks,
Mini

Hi,
There are multiple aspects of your requirements. So let's take them one at a time.
You can achieve it in the report program or you can use a combination of the both along.
You can create a standalone report program using the ABAP Editor (SE38). In the report program you can call the SAP Module pool program by CALL Screen <screen number>. And then in the module pool program you an create a subscreen and can handle the window popup with 2 radio button and an input field for getting the text.
For help - Module Pool programs you can search in ABAP Editor with DEMODYNPRO* and you will ge the entire demo code for all dialog related code.
For Report and other Module pool help you can have a look at the following:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/a1ff9b8d0c0986e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more details.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Creating a window through a DLL called through CLFN

Hi, sorry if this is a relatively simple problem but I've been unable to find proper results after a couple hours or so of searching.
My group is interacting wtih a DLL that requires a window to draw to. We tried drawing directly to a LabVIEW window (using the FindWindow function through the Windows API), however while that worked we were unable to save the drawn image (the Front panel-> export image invoke node wouldn't save the drawn image).
So, what we did was write some C code and make a wrapper DLL that creates a window to draw to through the CreateWindow function, which we would then export to our main vi (less than ideal, but that's another problem). However, when we call up this wrapper DLL via the CLFN, it won't create the window. Windows doesn't throw an error, it just won't instantiate the window at all and the function returns an error that the window was never created. The reason I'm posting this problem here instead of a general C++ forum is because we've tested out this wrapper DLL via a test project that imports the DLL and it works fine.
This is how I'm setting up the window. I pass the LabVIEW Window found via the FindWindow function in as hInst (sorry for the formatting, I tried the HTML <code> tag and the board doesn't seem to accept it):
int initializeWindow(HINSTANCE hInst)
    // Initialize global strings
    LoadString(hInst, IDS_APP_TITLE, szTitle, MAX_LOADSTRING);
    LoadString(hInst, IDC_WINDOW_CLASS, szWindowClass, MAX_LOADSTRING);
    MyRegisterClass(hInst);
    // Perform application initialization:
    if (!InitInstance (hInst, 1))
        return 0;
    return 1;
ATOM MyRegisterClass(HINSTANCE hInst)
    WNDCLASSEX wcex;
    wcex.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
    wcex.style            = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW | CS_BYTEALIGNCLIENT;
    wcex.lpfnWndProc    = WndProc;
    wcex.cbClsExtra        = 0;
    wcex.cbWndExtra        = 0;
    wcex.hInstance        = hInst;
    wcex.hIcon            = LoadIcon(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_UVIEW));
    wcex.hCursor        = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
    wcex.hbrBackground    = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1);
    wcex.lpszMenuName    = MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDC_UVIEW);
    wcex.lpszClassName    = szWindowClass;
    wcex.hIconSm        = LoadIcon(wcex.hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_SMALL));
    return RegisterClassEx(&wcex);
BOOL InitInstance(HINSTANCE hInst, int nCmdShow)
   hwnd = CreateWindow(szWindowClass, szTitle, WS_VISIBLE | WS_DLGFRAME | SS_BLACKRECT,
    0, 0, X_WINDOW_SIZE, Y_WINDOW_SIZE, NULL, NULL, hInst, NULL);
   if (hInst == NULL)
        MessageBox(hwnd, TEXT("Problem making instance"), TEXT("ERROR"),0);
        return FALSE;
   if (!hwnd)
    MessageBox(hwnd,TEXT("Problem making window"),TEXT("ERROR"),0);
    return FALSE;
   ShowWindow(hwnd, nCmdShow);
   UpdateWindow(hwnd);
   return TRUE;
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
// Standard WndProc implementation.. probably not worth posting all the code unless necessary
Does anyone see an obvious problem? Or something I should try?
Thanks in advance!
Message Edited by wgerard on 05-16-2010 12:18 AM

I can be short about that. A Windows HINSTANCE is NOT a HWND by a long stretch. The first is a module handle and the second is ... well yes a window!
FindWindow() returns a HWND and you can use that as parent handle for another window, but you can not use it as HINSTANCE ever.
To get at the HINSTANCE for registering new window classes you will need to extract that somehow from the HWND, probably by something like GetWindowLongPtr(.., GWLP_HINSTANCE, ..) or something similar.
But you won't be able to retrieve your own resources from that instance, because it is the instance for the LabVIEW executable, not your DLL.
