Ther eis a freeware control called fngRasyNotify which I have used and still
do on a couple of apps. It triggers an event when the ras connection is
made, and another one when the connection is lost.
Sounds like What Patric Dunford was saying to me.
I will Email it to you...

Subject: RE: [DUG]: Detecting a RAS connection
Ok. Maybe I need to be a bit clearer.
I am dialing normally via a DUN connection I already have, and DONT want to
deal with the RAS connection code myself.
I am using a standard DUN connection and using that to dial in, and I want
my program to detect that an active connection is active or availible.
I can deal with this in another wee app that uses my DUN connection settings
and one that has onconnect events etc.(via a RAS componenet) but thats not
what I want to do.
I guess I can have a wee timer that tries to send data out a port, and that
traps the error that tells it it cant send data out the port, but this is
prob. less than ideal, butmaybe its the only thing I can do.
Any suggestion welcome.
THanks, Jeremy Coulter
