Showing Blinking LED Indicator While Internet Connection is being used.

[iataman]

Hello World,

You know, if you are connected to internet via modem, you can see those blinking cute(!) LEDs while sending or recieving data. But I have a static ip and connect to the internet through a server so I can not see what the hell is going on!

Please help me to make my own code of those blinking LEDs. I can use the Shell_NotifyIcon func. so there is no problem about the interface but i don't know how do wake up an event when data is sent or recieved.

Thanks in Advance.

Try hooking some of the stuff in WSOCK32.DLL

That's where all the internet crap for the blinky lights is kept, I believe.

Tnx, logic is understood but how?!

Is there a way of doing it with the winsock control?

[mlewis]

No, I think you need to use SetWindowsHook etc to watch messages going through WSOCK32. I think.
Personally, I've never done this, but I think you should be able to get it to work, at least from all the theories I've read on the stuff.

Hope that helps you out.

Ok I'll try...
But SetWindowHookEx looks a litle bit complicated..
If I can solve it, i'll post it..
tnx again
