hi all I posted this question before and I didnt even get once response. So Im posting it in a different color. Please tell me if this question is totally off topic here . If it is , can anyone suggest a suitable mailing list for this question I thought since the finest win32 api minds hang out here I would post it here
The code is taken from the actual example --------------------------------------------------------------------- $|=1; use Win32::RASE; print "\nI'm dialing via the first RAS entry: $first_RAS_entry\n\n"; ($UserName, $Password) = RasGetUserPwd($first_RAS_entry) or die Win32::RASE::FormatMessage; print "UserName:"; !$UserName ? chomp($UserName=<>) : print "$UserName\n"; print "Password:"; !$Password ? chomp($Password=<>) : print "$Password\n"; $hrasconn = RasDial($first_RAS_entry, undef , $UserName, $Password) or die Win32::RASE::FormatMessage; #($err, $status) = RasDial("CLICK", "DP 110-6511" , $UserName, $Password,undef,undef) # or die Win32::RASE::FormatMessage; print "Connected, \$hrasconn=$hrasconn\n"; print "\n\n------next line---\n\n"; #=============== don't edit under this line ============== sub FindOpenedFolders () { # returns array of hwnd's of the opened folders my $findAfter = 0; my @folders; $FindWindowEx ||= new Win32::API("user32", "FindWindowEx", [N,N,P,P], N); while($findAfter = $FindWindowEx->Call(0, $findAfter, "CabinetWClass", 0)) { push @folders, $findAfter; } $findAfter = 0; while($findAfter = $FindWindowEx->Call(0, $findAfter, "ExploreWClass", 0)) { push @folders, $findAfter; } @folders; } sub CloseWindow ($) { # arg - hwnd $PostMessage ||= new Win32::API("user32", "PostMessage", [N,N,N,N], I); $WN_CLOSE = 0x10; $PostMessage->Call(shift, $WN_CLOSE, 0, 0); } BEGIN { require Win32::API; unless ($hwnd = (FindOpenedFolders())[0]) { system 'start explorer /n,C:\\'; $start_time = time; while (!($hwnd = (FindOpenedFolders())[0]) && $start_time+3 < time) {} $hwnd or die "Could not open C:\\ window\n"; $hwnd_opened = 1; } $first_RAS_entry = (RasEnumEntries())[0] or die "No one RAS entry were found\n"; } END { CloseWindow($hwnd) if $hwnd_opened } The above code when run , starts dialing right away ... but I want sample codes for 1) invoking the default original windows DUN dialog . 2) to check whether the user is connected to the internet 3) to disconnet from internet any help will be greatly appreciated or should I use any other perl module ? chris www.perl-resume.com
