When calling RasDialDlg, set each member of the RASDIALDLG structure passed to lpInfo to zero except:

  • dwSize = sizeof(RASDIALDLG)
  • hwndOwner = the hwnd parameter above
  • dwFlags = RASEDFLAG_NewEntry

Note

The ras.h header defines RasCreatePhonebookEntry as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
