Capture an event

[Tentaal]

Hi,

I'd like to find a way to capture a device state change. For example, when a user activate a device such a network card, I want my script to execute an action.

Any idea?

What if you captured the Windows Plug-and-pray activity?

That's just vague enough to work.

Vagueness is a sign of maleficence.

Well, not sure about what you are meaning.... Just one thing, i'm not english spoken so If I'm vague it's quite normal...

I'v made a tool to detect and disable unwanted wireless connexion at work. Now I want to optimize it. I have a function that do sometings like :

while
   checkwireless()
  wifi_device_not_connected it's ok
wend

disablewifi()

Actually this loop turn and turn... but if I could detect that the state of the wireless device has changed it will sound..more sexy for me.

What about Windows Message?
