I am trying to develop an alternative connection front-end to DUN which has to incorporate a few extra features. I am using a RAS ActiveX component to do most of the hard work, but one feature which I would like to have is the flashing lights on the taskbar just like with the usual DUN. I would like to do this either by:

1) Trapping some event or other to change the icon on the taskbar tray or,

2) Enabling the default modem lights on the taskbar.

I would rather do option 2 (less work for me), but is either possible? Or is there an even better way to do it?

Thanks in advance,

Dave Turner

When using RasDial() you'll get them for free..;-)

BTW, what's the ActiveX DLL you're using, I need to remove those darn things..(the lights I mean)

I'm aware that WinNT gives you them gratis, but unfortunately the icon also gives you dial/hangup options, which I didn't want. It doesn't matter any more though - the problem has been solved. Thanks for your time!
