RasMonitorDlg function

The RasMonitorDlg function displays the Dial-Up Networking Monitor property sheet that describes the status of RAS connections.

Syntax

BOOL RasMonitorDlg(
  _In_    LPTSTR          lpszDeviceName,
  _Inout_ LPRASMONITORDLG lpInfo
);

Parameters

• lpszDeviceName [in]
  Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the device to display initially. If this parameter is NULL, or if the specified device does not exist, the property sheet displays the first device.

• lpInfo [in, out]
  Pointer to the RASMONITORDLG structure that specifies additional input and output parameters.

  On input, the dwSize member of this structure specifies sizeof( RASMONITORDLG).

  If an error occurs, the dwError member receives, on output, an error code; otherwise, it receives zero.

Return value

If the user hangs up a connection, the return value is TRUE. Otherwise, the function returns FALSE.

If an error occurs, the dwError member of the RASMONITORDLG structure returns a value from Routing and Remote Access Error Codes or Winerror.h.

Remarks

The following sample code invokes the RAS monitor dialog box.

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "ras.h"
#include "rasdlg.h"

DWORD __cdecl wmain()
{
    
    DWORD dwError = ERROR_SUCCESS;
    BOOL nRet = TRUE;

    // Allocate heap memory and initialize RASMONITORDLG structure

    LPRASMONITORDLG lpInfo = (LPRASMONITORDLG) HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY, sizeof(RASMONITORDLG));
    
    if (lpInfo == NULL)
    {
           printf("HeapAlloc failed");
           return 0;
    }

    // The RASMONITORDLG dwSize member has to be initialized or the RRAS API will fail below.
    lpInfo->dwSize = sizeof(RASMONITORDLG);

    nRet = RasMonitorDlg(NULL,lpInfo);
    dwError = lpInfo->dwError;
    
    if (nRet == FALSE)
    {
        printf("User hung up the connection.\n");
    }
    else
    {
        if (dwError != ERROR_SUCCESS){
            printf("RasMonitorDlg failed: Error = %d\n", dwError);
        }
        else
        {
            printf("User pressed Close.\n");
        }
    }
    
    HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, lpInfo);
    return 0;
}
