checks the internet connection
Assumes
I have tested this code on windows 2000 and XP.
Dont know whether it works for windows 9x.
VBcodersPrivate Const FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION = 1
Private Declare Function InternetCheckConnection Lib "wininet.dll" Alias "InternetCheckConnectionA" (ByVal lpszUrl As String, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Boolean
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim abc As String
abc = InternetCheckConnection("http://www.microsoft.com", FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0)
If abc = "True" Then
MsgBox "Connected to the internet."
Else
MsgBox "Not connected to the internet."
End If
End Sub
