I am attempting to obtain mac address on windows xp using this code:
QString getMacAddress()
{
QString macaddress="??:??:??:??:??:??";
#ifdef Q_WS_WIN
PIP_ADAPTER_INFO pinfo=NULL;
unsigned long len=0;
unsigned long nError;
if (pinfo!=NULL)
delete (pinfo);
nError = GetAdaptersInfo(pinfo,&len); //Have to do it 2 times?
if(nError != 0)
{
pinfo= (PIP_ADAPTER_INFO)malloc(len);
nError = GetAdaptersInfo(pinfo,&len);
}
if(nError == 0)
macaddress.sprintf("%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",pinfo->Address[0],pinfo->Address[1],pinfo->Address[2],pinfo->Address[3],pinfo->Address[4],pinfo->Address[5]);
#endif
return macaddress;
}
The code was suggested here: http://www.qtforum.org/post/42589/how-to-obtain-mac-address.html#post42589
What libraries should i include to make it work?.
With Qt and the QtNetwork module, you can get one of the MAC addresses like that:
QString getMacAddress()
{
foreach(QNetworkInterface netInterface, QNetworkInterface::allInterfaces())
{
// Return only the first non-loopback MAC Address
if (!(netInterface.flags() && QNetworkInterface::IsLoopBack))
return netInterface.hardwareAddress();
}
return QString();
}
