Detecting active connection

[minoilrosso]

Hi everybody. I'm new to AutoIt, and I humbly request your kind help I need to make a script which detects if there's an active connection to a LAN or WLAN, and then - if the connection exists - runs a batch or .exe file. I know how to do for the second part, but I don't know how to detect the active connection. Thank you in advance for your help.

through WMI you can check to see what exist such

Welcome!

Try this:

Global Const $NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN = 0x1  ;net card connection
Global Const $NETWORK_ALIVE_WAN = 0x2  ;RAS connection
Global Const $NETWORK_ALIVE_AOL = 0x4  ;AOL

$connect = _GetNetworkConnect()

If $connect Then
    MsgBox(64, "Connections", $connect)
Else
    MsgBox(48, "Warning", "There is no connection")
EndIf

Func _GetNetworkConnect($sType = $NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN)
    Local $tTYPE, $iData, $iResult
    
    $tTYPE = DllStructCreate("int")
    
    DllCall("sensapi.dll", "int", "IsNetworkAlive", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($tTYPE))
    
    $iData = DllStructGetData($tTYPE, 1)
    
    If BitAND($iData, $NETWORK_ALIVE_LAN) Then $iResult &= "LAN connected" & @LF
    If BitAND($iData, $NETWORK_ALIVE_WAN) Then $iResult &= "WAN connected" & @LF
    If BitAND($iData, $NETWORK_ALIVE_AOL) Then $iResult &= "AOL connected" & @LF
    
    Return $iResult
EndFunc

Right, but i think both our solutions is correct

[minoilrosso]

Thank you I'll try both solutions =)

Rasim, yes they are

I was just pointing out that some lines of code can be saved for simple

struct requirements with DllCall.

just for future reference and for anyone else who comes along.

Cheers

Thank you for example
