By James Crowley, published on 14 Jul 2001
Add a command button to your form, and place the following code in the General Declarations section:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If ActiveConnection = True Then
MsgBox "You have an active connection.", vbInformation
Else
MsgBox "You have no active connections.", vbInformation
End If
End Sub
Next, add the following code to a module
Option Explicit
Public Const ERROR_SUCCESS = 0&
Public Const APINULL = 0&
Public Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Public ReturnCode As Long
Declare Function RegCloseKey Lib "advapi32.dll" (ByVal _
hKey As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegOpenKey Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias _
"RegOpenKeyA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As _
String, phkResult As Long) As Long
Declare Function RegQueryValueEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias _
"RegQueryValueExA" (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpValueName _
As String, ByVal lpReserved As Long, lpType As Long, _
lpData As Any, lpcbData As Long) As Long
Public Function ActiveConnection() As Boolean
Dim hKey As Long
Dim lpSubKey As String
Dim phkResult As Long
Dim lpValueName As String
Dim lpReserved As Long
Dim lpType As Long
Dim lpData As Long
Dim lpcbData As Long
ActiveConnection = False
lpSubKey = "SystemCurrentControlSetServicesRemoteAccess"
ReturnCode = RegOpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, lpSubKey, _
phkResult)
If ReturnCode = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
hKey = phkResult
lpValueName = "Remote Connection"
lpReserved = APINULL
lpType = APINULL
lpData = APINULL
lpcbData = APINULL
ReturnCode = RegQueryValueEx(hKey, lpValueName, _
lpReserved, lpType, ByVal lpData, lpcbData)
lpcbData = Len(lpData)
ReturnCode = RegQueryValueEx(hKey, lpValueName, _
lpReserved, lpType, lpData, lpcbData)
If ReturnCode = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
If lpData = 0 Then
ActiveConnection = False
Else
ActiveConnection = True
End If
End If
RegCloseKey (hKey)
End If
End Function
