Try to search on 'InternetDial'.

>I would like to use the InternetDial WinAPI function in a VFP6sp3 application. My reason is that only the InternetDial function permits the choice of Connectiods to use when connecting (instead of simply using the default).
>
>The MSDN WinAPI interface specs define InternetDial:
>DWORD InternetDial(IN HWND hwndParent, IN LPTSTR lpszConnectoid, IN DWORD dwFlags, OUT LPDWORD lpdwConnection, IN DWORD dwReserved
>Parameters
> hwndParent -- Handle to the parent window.
> lpszConnectoid -- Address of a string variable containing the name of the dial-up connection to use.
> dwFlags -- Unsigned long integer value that contains the flags to use. This can be one of the following values:
>INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_ONLINE --Forces an online connection.
>INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_UNATTENDED -- Forces an unattended Internet dial-up. If user intervention is required, the function will fail.
>INTERNET_DIAL_FORCE_PROMPT -- Ignores the "dial automatically" setting and forces the dialing user interface to be displayed.
>INTERNET_DIAL_UNATTENDED -- Connects to the Internet through a modem, without displaying a user interface, if possible. Otherwise, the function will wait for user input.
>INTERNET_DIAL_SHOW_OFFLINE -- Shows the Work Offline button instead of Cancel button in the dialing user interface.
> lpdwConnection -- Address of an unsigned long integer value containing the number associated to the connection.
> dwReserved -- Reserved. Must be set to zero.
>
>Can someone translate this into VFP-ish? (Declare statement)
>Has anyone used this function in VFP on Win9x/ME?
>Is there a better option (other than Win-Scripting)?
>
>I'd also appreciate any feedback vis-a-vis "You're going to run into trouble if you try to use this function because ...blah blah blah"
>
>Thanks!
