I want to make an application which does something (say, display a message box) every time the user connects to the Internet. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Try this:
Code:Public Declare Function RasEnumConnections Lib "RasApi32.dll" Alias "RasEnumConnectionsA" (lpRasCon As Any, lpcb As Long, lpcConnections As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function RasGetConnectStatus Lib "RasApi32.dll" Alias "RasGetConnectStatusA" (ByVal hRasCon As Long, lpStatus As Any) As Long
'
Public Const RAS95_MaxEntryName = 256
Public Const RAS95_MaxDeviceType = 16
Public Const RAS95_MaxDeviceName = 32
'
Public Type RASCONN95
dwSize As Long
hRasCon As Long
szEntryName(RAS95_MaxEntryName) As Byte
szDeviceType(RAS95_MaxDeviceType) As Byte
szDeviceName(RAS95_MaxDeviceName) As Byte
End Type
'
Public Type RASCONNSTATUS95
dwSize As Long
RasConnState As Long
dwError As Long
szDeviceType(RAS95_MaxDeviceType) As Byte
szDeviceName(RAS95_MaxDeviceName) As Byte
End Type
Public Function IsConnected() As Boolean
Dim TRasCon(255) As RASCONN95
Dim lg As Long
Dim lpcon As Long
Dim RetVal As Long
Dim Tstatus As RASCONNSTATUS95
'
TRasCon(0).dwSize = 412
lg = 256 * TRasCon(0).dwSize
'
RetVal = RasEnumConnections(TRasCon(0), lg, lpcon)
If RetVal <> 0 Then
MsgBox "ERROR"
Exit Function
End If
'
Tstatus.dwSize = 160
RetVal = RasGetConnectStatus(TRasCon(0).hRasCon, Tstatus)
If Tstatus.RasConnState = &H2000 Then
IsConnected = True
Else
IsConnected = False
End If
End Function
Usage:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If IsConnected() <> 0 Then
Msgbox "Connected!"
Else
Msgbox "Not Connected!"
End If
End Sub
Thanks a bunch, that's exactly what I needed!
