How to create a shortcut for the "wireless network connection" in Windows XP?

<< < (13/16) > >>

The C# Native WiFi API thing didn't pan out as it's Vista/7 only (I'm not ready to give-up on XP just yet), so I'm polking around looking for options.

That's strange because they implemented it from XP SP2 onwards, well according to Microsoft....but then, what would they know :)

And it seems to work OK on XP-SP3 via my LANToggle program, (ie. it lists the interfaces and lets me (dis|en)able them), AutoIt of course so maybe there is a little more trickery going on.

However, I don't think it will work if the you don't use the Wireless Zero Config in Windows, (ie. the adapter uses whatever the manufacturer supplied by way of connection software).

I was wrong.  There's no error.  Maybe i was using the older version.-superboyac (January 31, 2011, 07:08 PM)

you're not imagining it. the error also appeared on my WinXP desktop. i'm using the version that Stoic Joker posted latest. (yup, version numbering might be a good idea). :)

That error message is (should only be) displayed when you hit the cancel button.

Okay, my intention was to give the user feedback regarding the programs intentions. So they weren't waiting for it to do something else, and/or were not sure it had completely closed. If it is actually causing more confusion I can pull it out of the next build.
