Retrieve network interface status.

[Ricardo V�zquez]

Hola everybody!

I'm writting an MFC VC++ 6.0 application and I need to retrieve the *network
interface status*.
I mean, for example: When you first connect to a WiFi network you get an
icon in system-tray whose tooltip sais "it is trying to get an IP address
via DHCP".
Later on you can read that it is actually "connected"; or that you have
"limited connectivity"...
These "getting IP address", "limited connectivity" or "connected" is what I
mean when I say "network interface status" that I need to retrieve.

Does anybody know a way to get this?

Thank you very much,

Ricardo Vazquez.

You must use Win32 Network Shell apis
(you can see on Win32 group (http://tinyurl.com/cmhb5g) for C code
(since Win95, same method..)

Try IP Helper API:

If not, try the WMI functions (search for "WMI Network")
