    List available wireless networks (using WMI) - Help pls

    Hi all,

    I have written a simple prog (button, listbox), to list available wireless networks.

    When you click scan it will show 1. the SSID and 2. signalstrength of discovered networks.

    Problem 1: the characters of the SSID are unreadable (the raw SSID is a 32section array and characters are in ASCII, so each portion of the array must be chr'd). However this does not return the correct results.

    Problem 2: signalstrength is not displayed properly. But that will be solved with correct SSID.

    I have read somewhere that this is a bug in XP SP2. I have seen apps written in C# that perform this function properly, so I don't believe its a bug in XP SP2.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated (attached is my prog).
