IDot11AdHocNetwork interface (adhoc.h)

  • Article

The IDot11AdHocNetwork interface represents an available ad hoc network destination within connection range. Before an application can connect to a network, the network must have been created using IDot11AdHocManager::CreateNetwork and committed using IDot11AdHocManager::CommitCreatedNetwork.

Note  Ad hoc mode might not be available in future versions of Windows. Starting with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, use Wi-Fi Direct instead.
