There's a new version of ExistUNC:

Enter a
\\server\share and press "Browse Path". The password dialog should pop up on password protected shares that do exist but are not yet connected.

Okay, I'm ready now to add the network logon dialog. However, since I don't have the right network here for testing I need a little help to find the right point where to plug the dialog in.
Question 1: when you click on a unconnected passworded server (\\computer) in the XY Tree, what happens now? Do you get the "disabled" icon overlay in the tree or not? What message pops up if any?
Question 2: same question for share (\\computer\share)
Question 3: same question for path on share (\\computer\share\path)

Using v6.60.0030 against a Kubuntu server in a VMWare:
Question1: When i first Browse the local network and select the server a MsgBox pops up saying that the location is not available. Afterwards the server appears in the xy tree. Whenever i select the server in the tree the icon overlay changes to disabled and remains in this state until i refresh the tree. Not further dialog pops up.
Question 2: Entering a share in the adress bar clears the file area (only content is the message "Currently not available: \\kubuntu\"), not popup.
Question 3: Entering a dir inside the share opens a popup "Couldn't find location: \\kubuntu\PR\alt"
Hope that helps

Sorry Don, I did want this feature sometime back but now I have no servers around to test for. But I guess when at work I can figure out some servers around and test this feature.
Thanks for adding it anyway.

Yep, that helps a lot.
Just to be sure: in all three cases the expected thing would be to pop up the logon dialog asking for a username and password, right?

yes, i think so. Do we need an optional domain input control or is the domain part of the user name, e.g. "domain1\ogroeger"?

Don, i checked the last beta. The test cases 1 and 2 open now immidiatly the login dialog. If the login fails, the login dialog is ready for the next attempt. If the login succeeds the content is shown. The case that the server is indeed not reachable is correcly handled (The location is not available). Great work!
The test case 3 is unchanged.
One small bagatelle: The login dialog opens on the primary display and not on the display where XY is open.

Currently domains are handled in this simplified way: Browsing the network does only see servers in the primary/default domain. But you can add servers from other domains via the address bar (or via List Management | Servers ...).

Great, thanks for the quick feedback. I'll take care of test case 3 and the bagatelle...
