Programmatically Create Dialup Connection Objects

Posted by Jordi Mas on January 30th, 2000

Environment: This code has been successfully tested under Windows 9x and Windows NT

CRasAbsLay

CRasAbsLay is a simple class that encapsulates the functionality that you need from RAS to be able to create dialup connections in your Dialup connection folder. You cannot assume that all the machines have the RAS services available and you cannot link the RAS API library statically to your application, that's the reason why use the object CRas instead of calling the API directly.

I wrote this class when I wrote a installation program from an ISP that setup your Dialup Network with their connection settings.

Integrating the Code in Your Application

  1. Add  RasAbsLay.cpp and RasAbsLay.h to your project
  2. If you are not already including afxtempl.h, add it to your stdafx.h file
  3. Call CreatePhoneBookEntry member to create your connection

The Demo Project

The example code is a dialog-based application that prompts the user for information regarding its connection and creates the proper dial-up settings.

  • Problem with setting Login/Password under NT

    Posted by Legacy on 06/29/2003 12:00am

    I am trying to use RasSetEntryDialParams() to specify a user name and password so the user won't be prompted when they dial. This works as expected under Windows NT SP6a and Windows 2000, but under NT SP3, SP4 and SP5 this function call does not appear to do anything - the standard user name/password dialog appears with the user name defaulting to the user's NT user name (not the one I specified in the function call).

    Does anyone know of a workaround?

    Another curious "feature" - when creating a phonebook entry under Windows 95, setting RASEO_TerminalAfterDial brings up a terminal windows *before* dialing and RASEO_TerminalBeforeDial brings up a window *afterwards*. Works as expected under Windows NT.

    Hello, I have just a little question with the CreatePhoneBookentry-Function.
    You set rasEntry.CountryCode=34

    In fact, is this the national prefix that will be set?
    If I dont want to set a national prefix, can I leave this line away?WIll the connection still work?


    Thanx a lot

    Finally someone has been so nice as to reveal Microsofts secrets in DUN. Trying to keep the default dialogs silent has long been one of my needs.

    Now if I can just figure out how to port stdafx.h to C++ Builder I'm set.

    Peace out~

    Hi,

    I downloaded and compiled the sample. When I tried to create a new dial up connection, it said "unable to create..." and RasSetEntryProperties() returned an error code 632. The PhoneEntry sample in SDK runs fine though. Please help. Thanks

  • How do I run this connection from my applikation?

    I found out, that the connection is registerd in:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess\Addresses
    but I don�t know where the file is to find and how to start it in my VC-App.

    The second question is: After starting the Dialup connection automaticly the user must click ok. How can I "click" the ok button automaticly in my app, or how can I send the OnOK Message to the connection?

    Perhaps there is an easier way to start this connection without open it regulary?
