IDot11AdHocManager interface (adhoc.h)

The IDot11AdHocManager interface creates and manages 802.11 ad hoc networks. It is the top-level 802.11 ad hoc interface and the only ad hoc interface with a coclass. As such, it is the only ad hoc interface that can be instantiated by CoCreateInstance.

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.

 

The IDot11AdHocManager coclass implements the IConnectionPoint interface. The Advise method can be used to register for network manager, network, and interface-related notifications. Notifications are implemented by the IDot11AdHocManagerNotificationSink interface. To register for notifications, call the Advise method with the appropriate notification sink interface as the pUnk parameter.
