RASCONNSTATUS

This structure describes the current status of a remote access connection. It is returned by the RasGetConnectStatus function.

typedef struct _RASCONNSTATUS { 
  DWORD dwSize; 
  RASCONNSTATE rasconnstate; 
  DWORD dwError; 
  TCHAR szDeviceType[ RAS_MaxDeviceType + 1 ]; 
  TCHAR szDeviceName[ RAS_MaxDeviceName + 1 ]; 
} RASCONNSTATUS;

Members

• dwSize
  Specifies the structure size, in bytes.

• rasconnstate
  Specifies a RASCONNSTATE enumerator value that indicates the current state of the RasDial connection process; that is, the piece of the RasDial process that is currently executing.

  The following table shows the two state values that are especially significant.

  Value	Description
  RASCS_Connected	Indicates that the connection has been successfully established.
  RASCS_Disconnected	Indicates that the connection has failed.

• dwError
  If nonzero, specifies the reason for failure. The value is one of the error values from the RAS header file or one of ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY or ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE.

• szDeviceType
  Null-terminated string that specifies the type of the current device, if available. For example, common device types supported by RAS are modem, pad, switch, isdn, and NULL.

• szDeviceName
  Null-terminated string that specifies the name of the current device, if available. This would be the name of the modem, for example, Hayes Smartmodem 2400; the name of the PAD, for example, US Sprint; or the name of a switch device, for example, Racal-Guardata.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 1.0 and later.
Header: Ras.h.
