How can my program know that Windows gets connected?I am building a service for Windows XP SP 2 and similar, which have the
built-in Wireless connection manager. The service should start its work every time the user gets a new Wireless connection (let us assume that 802.1x authentication is disabled for this connection). I could poll the network status often enough to keep track of the connection, but isn't it a ridiculous waist of the CPU? Is there some system notification that I could receive whenever a connection is established? How you can detect connection , look at

age old problem with windows CE. We have a similar situation where we need to get web page from server when device is turned on. But WiFi card is not connected and Wininet.dll thinks everything is copasetic till it tries to get the page. Have tried suggestion from Televideo (TeleCLIENT), witch is to look for driver then see if we have valid IP, but this tends to plow out the Wininet.dll when the system is still coming up. More then likely do to the fact you have to call IOCTL wall network is connection. Tried Microsoft suggestion with is to look for not connected, but only works for wired network connection. So has any one been able to salve this in a manner that do's not blow out any network stack parts or Wininet.dll? -- Show quoteHide quoteClass Guy Winslow { public: WINcontrols H: 925-606-1091 M: 925-922-0222 gdwins***@wincontrols.com }; "Arkady Frenkel" <arka***@hotmailxdotx.com> wrote in message news:Oz09QNqcFHA.2736@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > How you can detect connection , look at > http://www.gershnik.com/faq/manage.asp#internet , > http://www.ndis.com/faq/QA01050301/default.htm and > http://www.ndis.com/faq/QA05040101.htm > Arkady > > <alexc***@netvision.net.il> wrote in message > news:1118944865.725240.279670@g43g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... >>I am building a service for Windows XP SP 2 and similar, which have the >> built-in Wireless connection manager.
