Creating Network Connection

[ivan]

I've two possible connections to create using a script, dial up network and wireless network. I was looking in microsoft's site under cpl but, I couldn't find a useful reference for this.

I'm about to start automating the explorer Network Connections window launched using the appropriate cpl for NT and 9x, and from there launch a new network wizard window and run the process...

I hate automating wizards, let alone working with Explorer listviews, so if anyone has a better suggestion I'd really be grateful if you could share it with me.

THX in advance

I can't think of anything other than automating the wizard.

Here's something to start you off:

expandcollapse popup

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c @open '&"::{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}", '', @SW_HIDE)

_wwa("Network Connections")
WinMenuSelectItem("Network Connections", "", "&File", "&New Connection...")

_wwa("New Connection Wizard", "Welcome to the New Connection Wizard")
Send("!n")
Sleep(100)
_wwa("New Connection Wizard", "Connect")
ControlClick("New Connection Wizard", "", 22128)
Send("{ENTER}")
Sleep(100)
_wwa("New Connection Wizard", "Network Setup Wizard")
ControlClick("New Connection Wizard", "", 12325)
Sleep(100)

_wwa("Network Setup Wizard", "Welcome to the Network Setup Wizard")
Send("!n")
Sleep(100)
_wwa("Network Setup Wizard", "complete the following")
Send("!n")
Sleep(100)
_wwa("Network Setup Wizard", "Select the statement")

;;Complete the rest yourself...

Thanks. I had to go home soon after posting the topic, so I worked out a wizard automation procedure. Anyway, I'll try your solution, which is pretty much the same as mine (except that I have to run on a spanish os version, which implies different values for menu items on the network connections folder which I obtain through cpl instead of CLSID.

Best regards
