Abstract
A network device control method and apparatus for controlling various devices connected to a network cause a setting sheet that is for setting the environment of a device to be displayed on a screen so that the environment of the device may be set. A request for read-out of management information corresponding to each control on the setting sheet is transmitted to the network. If read-out of the management information succeeds, the information is set in the corresponding control and the display state thereof is enabled. If read-out fails and the reason is that the device does not support the date, then the name of the control is displayed in gray and the display is not displayed at all. If the function is one supported by the device, on the other hand, then the name of the control is displayed at ordinary brightness and the corresponding data is displayed in gray.
